THE LION S SHARE
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.

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.
