Lyrics

Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead The shepherds smile seems to confirm my fears They've never questioned anything, they've never disagreed Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears And when you see a can I see a crook And when you see a crowd I see a flock It's sheep we're up against Sheep we're up against When I was young they used to get me counting sheep But the counting I did was all in vain Now when I'm tired and I'm trying to get to sleep I count humans jumping onto trains And when you see a can I see a crook And when you see a crowd I see a flock It's sheep we're up against Sheep we're up against (Influential Guitar Break) And when you see a can I see a crook And when you see a crowd I see a flock It's sheep we're up against Sheep we're up against
