RE
Can I be unhappy?
MIm
Look at what I see:
a beast in furs
LA RE
and crowned in luxury.
RE
He's a wealthy man
in the poorest land,
MIm
a self-appointed king,
and there's no complaining
LA
while he's reigning.
RE
The lambs are bare of
FA#m
fleece and cold;
SOL RE
the lion has stolen that, I'm told.
FA#m
There must be some creature mighty
MIm RE FA#m
as you are. The lambs go hungry (not fair),
SOL RE
the biggest portion is the lion's share.
FA#m MIm
There must be some creature mighty as you are.
(same as 1st verse)
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.
SIm MIm
Razor claws in velvet paws,
LA RE
you dunce in your guarded home,
FA#m SIm MIm
'til a stronger beast will call on you
SOL LA
and pounce upon your throne.
RE FA#m
Do we pay? Dearly,
SOL RE
for the lion takes so greedily
FA#m MIm
and he knows that what he's taken, it is ours.
LA RE
That's how the wealth's divided
MIm
among the lambs and king of the beasts,
LA RE
it is so one-sided.
MIm LA
Until the lamb is king of the beasts
RE
we live so one-sided.
