Intro: G C G D G
G
When you're a sheep in wolf's clothing,
C G
you have big, important friends,
D G
who with a twinkle in their eyes say they'll be with you 'til the end.
They invite you out to ice cream,
C G
they insist you eat your fill,
D G
then they smile at each other and they stick you with the bill.
C G
They giggle extra hard when you max out your credit card.
When you're a sheep in wolf's clothing,
C G
you're watched over by your friends,
D G
they hook you up with an apartment in a big, barbed-wire pen,
C G
and they come and pinch your cheeks with such fatherly affection,
D G
and they tap into your e-mail solely for your own protection.
C G
If they counted votes from black sheep, would they still win their elections?
C G
And you live a life of privilege in the shadow of your friends,
D G
who've secured the greenest pastures with their business acumen,
C G
so you graze on the grasses and you're spared from ever thinking
D G
or from knowing why your friends are always snickering and winking.
C G
You're fed shock and awe and you swallow without blinking.
C G
Then one day, with dismay, your friends say you've been attacked,
D G
but you can buy a shred of safety with the shirt right off your back
C G
and your sacrifice reveals, you patriotic sons and daughters
D G
were once sheep in wolf's clothing now you're lambs at the slaughter.
