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
Till 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
