Beggar’s Bargain

I give you want, you give me what I need
Reap you the harvest, you return to me the best seed
You will convince me the in
Service to the queen
I am the most integral
Drone in the machine

I play the game and I
Get what is left when I
Give it all I got

No rising tide ever did lift my little boat
No swamee swans ever did sing another note
No waterfall trickled down into my throat

I break my back and you give back my daily bread
The beggar’s bargain is no better than to beg
I lay it at your feet, the
Labor of my hands
Gives you the lion’s share, I
Lie down with lambs

I play the game and I
Get what is left when I
Give it all I got

No rising tide ever did lift my little boat
No swamee swans ever did sing another note
No waterfall trickled down into my throat
