Lion Shepherd - May You All Live in Fascinating Times

A tear I shed
It makes you laugh
I ought to wipe
That smile off your head

Corrosive greed
Like acid rain
Consumption grows
We’re still in need

Old man, don’t run
Don’t look away
It’s what you’ve done
Your gift to me
Soon, you’ll be gone
You’ll fade away
And I will stay
To face your shame

We take more than we give
Don’t care for what’s beneath
We’re high, we still believe
That we will find the air to breath tomorrow

All faith in change
Like pearls was cast
Before a swine
I gave my heart

And now, it’s all gone
I don’t care anymore
I’ll take what’s mine
Like you before

Old man, don’t run
Don’t look away
It’s what you’ve done
Your gift to me
Soon, you’ll be gone
You’ll fade away
And I will stay
To face your shame
