Paul Simon - Pigs, Sheep and Wolves lyrics

[Paul Simon - Pigs, Sheep and Wolves lyrics]

Big and fat, pig's supposed to look like that
Barnyard thug
Sleeps on straw and he calls it a rug
Yeah that's a rug, okay
He's walking down the street
And nobody's going to argue with him
He's a half a ton of pig meat

Up in the hills above the farm
Lives a pack of wolves, never did no harm
Sleep all day, hunt 'til four
Maybe catch a couple of rodents, you know
A carnivore

Sheep in the meadow, nibbling on some clover
One of them sheep wanders over
Sit's by a rock, separated from the flock
He's just sitting by a rock

Where did he go, I don't know
Well he was here a minute ago
I don't know, sheep's dead
Got a gash as big as a wolf's head oh God

Big and fat, pig's supposed to look like that
Wallowing in lanolin
He's rubbing it into his pigskin
Police are going crazy, saying let's get him
Let's get that wolf, let's get him
Let's get that wolf, let's get him
Let's kill him, let's get him, let's kill him

Court-appointed lawyer wasn't very bright
Or maybe he was bright
Maybe he just had a late night
Yeah it was just a late night
And he files some feeble appeal
And the governor says forget it
It's a done deal

This election, I don't care, election
Let's give that wolf a lethal injection
Let's get him, yeah get him
Let's kill him, let's get him
Let's kill him, let's get him, kill him
Let's get him and kill him whew, slow
Here comes the media with their camera
Asking everybody's opinion about pigs
Sheep and wolves

Big and fat
Pig's supposed to laugh like that
This is hilarious, what a great time
I'm the pig who committed the perfect crime
All around the world, France and Scandinavia
There's candle light vigils
Protesting this behavior
It's animal behavior, animal behavior

It's pig, sheep and wolves
Pig, sheep and wolves pig, sheep and wolves
It's animal behavior pig, sheep and wolves
