[00:19.00] [00:19.73]Look at what I see: a beast in furs [00:24.50] [00:25.01]And crowned in luxury. [00:27.36] [00:30.42]He's a wealthy man in the poorest land, [00:33.77] [00:34.30]A self-appointed king, [00:36.45] [00:38.12]And there's no complaining while he's reigning. [00:42.05]The lambs are bare of fleece and cold; [00:45.14] [00:45.86]The lion has stolen that, I'm told. [00:48.73] [00:49.33]There must be some creature mighty as you are. [00:53.94] [00:57.40]The lambs go hungry (not fair), [01:01.17]The biggest portion is the lion's share. [01:04.20] [01:04.75]There must be some creature mighty as you are. [01:09.38] [01:13.46]Can I be unhappy? [01:16.77]Listen and agree, [01:18.54] [01:19.76]No words can shame him or tame him. [01:24.16]The lambs are bare of fleece and cold; [01:27.15] [01:27.80]The lion has stolen that, I'm told. [01:31.18]There must be some creature mighty as you are. [01:35.88] [01:39.27]The lambs go hungry (not fair), [01:43.06]The biggest portion is the lion's share. [01:46.09] [01:46.74]There must be some creature mighty as you are, [01:51.28] [01:54.02]As you are. [01:54.91] [02:10.06]Razor claws in velvet paws, [02:13.33]You dunce in your guarded home, [02:15.99] [02:17.08]'Til a stronger beast will call on you [02:21.33]And pounce upon your throne. [02:23.60] [02:24.79]Do we pay? Dearly, for the lion takes so greedily [02:31.28] [02:32.43]And he knows that what he's taken, [02:34.95] [02:35.89]It is ours. [02:36.89] [02:38.74]That's how the wealth's divided among the lambs [02:45.07]And king of the beasts, it is so one-sided. [02:48.28] [02:50.69]Until the lamb is king of the beasts we live so one-sided.
