The Lion's Share
Lyricist:Dennis Drew, Natalie Merchant
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
