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.

if u could pull me out the dark
or if our love would fall apart
like cookies crumble
see i'm a demon on the loose
i'm like an engine with no caboose
and i need somebody who can really handle me
chorus (2x):
yeah baby im a wild one
don't let me run
don't let me get away
yeah baby im a wild wild one
i just wanna let u know girl
i'm attracted to ur physical
but i got this lazy eye that likes to wander
u see i'm tired of feelin alone
so if u throw this dog a bone
maybe you and i can make our house a home<
