Daniel In The Lion's Den

Hungry wolves are howlin', rabid dogs run free The sky is full of vultures The sharks have left the sea Thieves and murderers roam the street They'd love to see you dead Yet you make your way in this world with not a hair touched on your head Just like Daniel, Daniel in the lion's den Just like Daniel, Daniel in the lion's den Misfortune everywhere you look Sickness, greed and hate But the world has plenty of martyrs now, so don't tempt fate Keep the slide whistle ready and the police whistle to Though you walk trough the valley of darkness, they can't lay a finger on you Just like Daniel, Daniel in the lion's den Just like Daniel, Daniel in the lion's den Face to face with that hungry beast Any day now you will be released Face to face with that ugly throng You'll get the hang of it before long Well, there was a big dragon in Babylon And a mighty dragon too And them that lived there worshipped him Who wouldn't, wouldn't you? But Daniel alone refused to bow Though threatened by the king Until at last he killed that beast He poisoned that evil thing But the people rose against him and cast him in a pit where seven lions waited to tear him limb from limb But when they came back seven days later to collect poor Daniel's bones Well, there sat Daniel with a smile on his face, feeling quite at home Daniel, Daniel in the lion's den Daniel, Daniel in the lion's den Face to face with that hungry beast Any day now you will be released Face to face with that ugly throng You'll get the hang of it before long Daniel in the lion's den Daniel in the lion's den Daniel in the lion's den Daniel in the lion's den
