THE CORNERED LAMB

Oh 

I'm left helpless 

A deserted new born lamb 

Under the mercy of hungry hyenas 

Remember, Mr. Monkey can't be a fair judge 

In a case involving clearing the forest 

Oh 

They're eating me up alive 

Mercilessly tearing me apart 

Greedily sharing my entrails when I see 

Oh 

My only hope, my saviour 

What went wrong? 

Why did you abandon me? 

Leaving me to witness my own death 

Oh 

These hyenas are ruthless, heartless 

They're scattering my flesh, my skeleton 

Wielding their irreverend teeth 

Banging them as they claim shares of me 

I know you won't find me breathing 

You won't get anything left of me 

I'm dying slowly and painfully 

Actually, before I realise the pain 

I shall have died, thoroughly finished!
