Who is the bear; That is running scared? Taken what is not his What it is, what it is; Telling you what's good for you And what's not Drinking portage and hemlock (what) And who is the lion whose got the people crying Saving grace has no place for intolerant tying up people with masking tape Must break free, watching out for the killer bees And who is the man That has a better plan than I Whose life is it yours to take And whose lies are you gonna enforce I won't intricate nor retaliate I'm just gonna sit here and wait I won't intricate nor retaliate Just gonna sit here and wait just wait Eat all of the vegetables here on my plate Carrots, broccoli, sweet beans and rice Peas, collar flower and spinach leaves I am gonna eat the greens and the fat of the land Why is the lion up and roaring? And why is he trying to take what's not his taking what is stolen Put it down, put it down lion; Chasing and killing innocent children women and men And who is the lamb, steady and fine where is Ben? Open and ready to determine His kind Saving grace has no place for intolerant hipOquits huh! And who is the man That has a better plan than I Whose life is it yours to take And whose lies are you gonna enforce I won't intricate nor retaliate I'm just gonna sit here and wait I won't intricate nor retaliate Just gonna sit here and wait just wait Eat all of the vegetables here on my plate Carrots, broccoli, sweet beans and rice Peas, collar flower and spinach leaves I am gonna eat the greens and the fat of the land am gonna eat the greens and the fat of the land cause that's the kind of man I am Eat the green and fat of the land 04/15/14 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. Arranged music by Jonathan Echtinaw
