How come you prophet, while i profit not?
Aren't we both eating from the same pot?
You get the meat, while I get the bone,
you drink the stew and leave me the stone.
I see the bucket full, you say it empty,
I see the bucket full, you say it empty,
I see the bucket full, I want my food...
How come you big, while I am small?
I'm not so tiny to help you at all.
You may be Goliath, but I am the king
and, at your head, will I aim my sling.
I see the bucket full, you say it empty,
I see the bucket full, you say it empty,
I see the bucket full, I want my food...
How come you use the bucket to draw your fill,
while we are waiting at the well still?
Time slows down, the days grow long,
but I am still singing the same old song.
How come you prophet, while i profit not?
Aren't we both eating from the same pot?
You get the meat, while I get the bone,
you drink the stew and leave me the stone.
I see the bucket full, you say it empty,
I see the bucket full, you say it empty,
I see the bucket full, I want my food...
