The Lion's Share (最大的份额) - 10,000 Maniacs[00:00:00]
Can I be unhappy?[00:00:16]
Look at what I see: a beast in furs[00:00:19]
And crowned in luxury.[00:00:25]
He's a wealthy man in the poorest land,[00:00:30]
A self-appointed king,[00:00:34]
And there's no complaining while he's reigning.[00:00:38]
The lambs are bare of fleece and cold;[00:00:42]
The lion has stolen that, I'm told.[00:00:45]
There must be some creature mighty as you are.[00:00:49]
The lambs go hungry (not fair),[00:00:57]
The biggest portion is the lion's share.[00:01:01]
There must be some creature mighty as you are.[00:01:04]
Can I be unhappy?[00:01:13]
Listen and agree,[00:01:16]
No words can shame him or tame him.[00:01:19]
The lambs are bare of fleece and cold;[00:01:24]
The lion has stolen that, I'm told.[00:01:27]
There must be some creature mighty as you are.[00:01:31]
The lambs go hungry (not fair),[00:01:39]
The biggest portion is the lion's share.[00:01:43]
There must be some creature mighty as you are,[00:01:46]
As you are.[00:01:54]
Razor claws in velvet paws,[00:02:10]
You dunce in your guarded home,[00:02:13]
'Til a stronger beast will call on you[00:02:17]
And pounce upon your throne.[00:02:21]
Do we pay? Dearly, for the lion takes so greedily[00:02:24]
And he knows that what he's taken,[00:02:32]
It is ours.[00:02:35]
That's how the wealth's divided among the lambs[00:02:38]
And king of the beasts, it is so one-sided.[00:02:45]
Until the lamb is king of the beasts we live so one-sided.[00:02:50]
