The Lion's Share
(专辑: Blind Man's Zoo - 1989)
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.
