Letra '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.
