And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
‘Til we find our place
On the path unwinding

When I am king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want
Because a hyena’s belly is never full

SCAR

Mufasa is yesterday’s message
A clapped-out, distracted regime
Whose failings undoubtedly presage
The need for a different dream
Yes, leonine times are a-changin’
Which means that hyenas must too
My vision is clear and wide-ranging
And even encompasses you

So prepare for the coup of the century
Prepare for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
Decades of denial is simply why I’ll
Be king, undisputed, respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared

HYENAS

SCAR & HYENAS

Be prepared (Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)

Be prepared

Got to carry the weight and hope
It’s never too late

It’s never too late, I know
It’s never too late

A day doin’ nothin’ is doin’ it right
No hurry, no Harry, takes as long as it takes

I didn’t find love or the peace or the breaks
These aren’t excuses but a string of mistakes
I won’t go back there, not goin’ back there
