I don't have a girl to bail me out tonight And I don't have the means to help myself And I don't have a friend to get me tight tonight It seems like nothing's right when nothing's left I bit the hand that fed me And I made the knife that bled me But I used to be a lion I used to be a lion I don't have the pride to hold my head up high And I don't have the strength to make the kill These days I don't run free I'm just passing by Waking up at all is my only thrill I lost the ones that love me Now everyone's above me But I used to be a lion I used to be a lion
