I am a sheep caught in A barbed wire fence Struggling in vain Attempt to rise above the flock As I pull this wire It only pulls back tighter I see my future now Blac, blood, black Fight, fearless Fight, fearless Fight, for your life Fight, fearless Fight, fearless Fight, for your life Asphyxiated by this wire Burn through skin as though on fire I pull but all attempts despite I'll soon lay here bleeding Chorus One more tug and I'll be forgotten This melody should not be this black Our whole world, pastures and shack I'm telling you this life is rotten And as I'm choked by this barbed wire fence I realize sheep don't stand a chance If I hadn't tried I still would have died In the cold slaughter house I wasn't meant to live in freedome
