The Lion's Share


[ music: Natalie Merchant & Dennis Drew/words: 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; 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
