Hyena Songtext
von Rancid

Yeah
Pick it up, pick it, pick it up, here we go

I′m money broke and it's no joke
Can′t cope use the rope this time (hey)
Knuckle up, buckle up, the ride's getting rough
And I will not lose my mind (hey)
I asked her if I could come in
And the first thing she said was no (hey)
If I can't come in, that means I can′t come back
I got nowhere to go

Hyena fighting for the lion′s share
Right, sometimes the lion's share ain′t there
Hyena fighting for the lion's share
Hear me out, sometimes the lion′s share ain't there


Absent from political authority
An animal I′ve become (hey)
Total disorder and confusion
Is the lifestyle that I run (hey)
Permit me to do what I want and I will
I'm a nomad to travel (hey)
Concrete, glass, stone and gravel

Hyena fighting for the lion's share
Right, sometimes the lion′s share ain′t there
Hyena fighting for the lion's share
Hear me out, sometimes the lion′s share ain't there — it ain′t there!

Yeah, every time I turn around it's the same sad story
Getting ganked, I wish it would end
In life′s commissary, I'm a bad missionary
With a wicked message, I send
Fighting to kill before I lose that shit
And that's just the way I wanna live
Who can I trust in a world of greed
When I′m taught to take and not give?
Who can I trust
When I′m taught to take and not give?


Yeah, I'm money broke and it′s no joke
Can't cope use the rope this time (hey)
Knuckle up, buckle up, the ride′s getting rough
But I will not lose my mind (hey)
Permit me to do what I want and I will
'Cause I′m a nomad to travel (hey)
Concrete, glass, stone and gravel

See, there's nothing you can say that's gonna change my mind
Fuck you

Hyena fighting for the lion′s share
Right, sometimes the lions share ain′t there
Sometimes the lions share ain't there
Shit
