Counting Sheep

Working a 9-5 for some prick you despise

And there's no money to be made in an industry that's already failed

Treats you like a peasant and spits you back out into pieces

And you've every reason to be annoyed

Begging to get a gig so you can play in front of 15 piss heads

And it takes balls to do what i do

Stand here in front of you

I get the most support from total strangers and that statement says it all

It's nice to be nice but sometimes you reach your limit

Trying to live and survive when everyone around you is a sheep with a desk job

Taking orders with no bite in their life

It's a society made to benefit the elite and rip everyone else off

And our politicians are landlords

And our landlords are politicians

It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

Spitting the same lies they'll make sheep of your life

And remember why you're living at home at 30

And why your 30 living at home with no hope to be known

And remember why you are sitting in a waiting room with a leg hanging off

And remember when you're paying your life away in taxes

Just remember that the last 12 years who are on the ones in charge

The irresponsible coffin dodgers

And never give up on the life you deserve

We're born we live and eventually die

And I'm not here to sugarcoat it for you

And that's why you paid ten pounds to get in tonight

To have someone like me tell you it's not gonna be alright

And I don't massage egos that's why we don't get along

You're part of the problem

Friends being forced on planes

And that was the better option

Our politicians are landlords

And our landlords are politicians

It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

Spitting the same lies they'll make sheep of your life

They'll make sheep of your life

And it's nice to be nice

But sometimes you'll reach your fucking limit

Having traitors in charge would make you lose your mind

And if you take it at face value

You'll be made a sheep your entire life

And I've a pain in my hole listening to these lies

Fawlty Towers always comes to mind

And I've a hole in my heart telling me things just aren't right

And that's why I made this song for you to listen to

And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back

And if I was still sitting besides you, I'd be half a mile back

And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back

And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back

And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back

And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back

And if I was still sitting besides you, I'd be half a mile back

And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back

Having doubt is the only thing that ever holds you back
