10,000 Maniacs - The Lion's Share lyrics

Your rating:
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
