《The Lion’s Share》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lion's Share - 10,000 Maniacs

[00:00:16] Can I be unhappy?

[00:00:19] Look at what I see: a beast in furs

[00:00:25] And crowned in luxury.

[00:00:30] He's a wealthy man in the poorest land,

[00:00:34] A self-appointed king,

[00:00:38] And there's no complaining while he's reigning.

[00:00:42] The lambs are bare of fleece and cold;

[00:00:45] The lion has stolen that, I'm told.

[00:00:49] There must be some creature mighty as you are.

[00:00:57] The lambs go hungry (not fair),

[00:01:01] The biggest portion is the lion's share.

[00:01:04] There must be some creature mighty as you are.

[00:01:13] Can I be unhappy?

[00:01:16] Listen and agree,

[00:01:19] No words can shame him or tame him.

[00:01:24] The lambs are bare of fleece and cold;

[00:01:27] The lion has stolen that, I'm told.

[00:01:31] There must be some creature mighty as you are.

[00:01:39] The lambs go hungry (not fair),

[00:01:43] The biggest portion is the lion's share.

[00:01:46] There must be some creature mighty as you are,

[00:01:54] As you are.

[00:02:10] Razor claws in velvet paws,

[00:02:13] You dunce in your guarded home,

[00:02:17] 'Til a stronger beast will call on you

[00:02:21] And pounce upon your throne.

[00:02:24] Do we pay? Dearly, for the lion takes so greedily

[00:02:32] And he knows that what he's taken,

[00:02:35] It is ours.

[00:02:38] That's how the wealth's divided among the lambs

[00:02:45] And king of the beasts, it is so one-sided.

[00:02:50] Until the lamb is king of the beasts we live so one-sided.
