Can I be unhappy? Look at what I see |
|
A beast in furs and crowned in luxury |
|
He's a wealthy man in the poorest land, a self-appointed king |
|
And there's no complaining while he's reigning |
|
The lambs are bare of fleece and cold |
|
The lion has stolen that, I'm told |
|
There must be some creature mighty as you are |
|
The lambs go hungry, not fair |
|
The biggest portion is the lion's share |
|
There must be some creature mighty as you are |
|
Can I be unhappy? Listen and agree |
|
No words can shame him or tame him |
|
The lambs are bare of fleece and cold |
|
The lion has stolen that, I'm told |
|
There must be some creature mighty as you are |
|
The lambs go hungry, not fair |
|
The biggest portion is the lion's share |
|
There must be some creature mighty as you are, as you are |
|
Razor claws in velvet paws, you dunce in your guarded home |
|
'Til a stronger beast will call on you and pounce upon your throne |
|
Do we pay? Dearly, for the lion takes so greedily |
|
And he knows that what he's taken, it is ours |
|
That's how the wealth's divided |
|
Among the lambs and king of the beasts |
|
It is so one-sided |
|
Until the lamb is king of the beasts |
|
We live so one-sided |
