lyrics

"Dandelions in December"

Cowardly lion
King of the fools
Respected through fear
Dismembering the herds
Devouring their hopes
Chafing their dreams
Clamping their throats
So none speak against him

Cowardly lion
King of the fools
Respected through fear
Dismembering the herds
Devouring their hopes
Chafing their dreams
Clamping their throats
So none speak against him
Clawing their eyes
Blinding their truths
He lies in their wake
And growls with contentment
He's pleased with the kill
It wasn't his own
He's caged by his pride
And fed by his porcelain throne

I'm going to teach you a lesson or two
Talk back to me and I'll give you what's due
This will hurt me more than it will hurt you
I will apologize after I'm through

Over and over I show you my ways
If you don't like it
Then why do you stay?
The wind summons courage
The Sun beckons scars
I bring down the hammer
And you see the stars

My mouth's full of anger
My fists carry rage
You suffer in silence and pray for a change
"He doesn't mean it" is all you can say
I wouldn't beat you if you'd just obey!
