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



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
