Lionkiller

作曲 : McCombs

I was born in a hospital that was very big and white

The hands of a male doctor pulled me into the light

My grandmother cut the umbilical cord

And I took my first breath in a maternity ward

They gave me food and shelter, they gave me clothes and things

I was allowed to go to school and

I was encouraged to sing

I was healthy,

I was a privileged soul

And I am lucky today, and thankful on the whole

I am called

Scorpio, if they got the date right

I cannot transcend this caste even if

I tried I hope to kill a great lion someday

And I will because with work ethic

I was raised

Fire, water, earth, and wind have gone

To Matthew,

Mark, Luke, and

John Elements are assigned and stars given names

Baseball on

T.V, pictures in frames

I am still hunting for the hide of such sheen

My hair’s still curly and my eyes are still green

Stick a needle in my eye

I’m middle class ’til the day

I die
