10,000 Maniacs - The Lions Share слова песни
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.
