Defiance, Ohio - Lambs at the Slaughter lyrics
[Defiance, Ohio - Lambs at the Slaughter lyrics]
You're a sheep in wolf's clothing
You got big important friends
Who with a twinkle in their eyes say
They'll be with you 'til the end
They invite you out to ice cream
They insist you eat your fill
Then they smile at each other and
They stick you with the bill
They giggle extra hard when you
Max out your credit card
You're a sheep in wolf's clothing
You're watched over by your friends
They hook you up with an apartment in a big
Barbed-wire pen and they come and pinch your
Cheeks with such fatherly affection
And they tap into your e mail
Solely for your own protection
If they counted votes from black sheep
Would they still win their elections?
And you live a life of privilege
In the shadow of your friends
Who've secured the greenest pastures
With their business acumen
So you graze on the grasses and
You're spared from ever thinking
Or from knowing why your friends
Are always snickering and winking
You're fed shock and awe and
You swallow without blinking
Then one day with dismay your
Friends say you've been attacked
But, you can buy a shred of safety
With the shirt right off your back
And your sacrifice reveals your
Patriotic sons and daughters
Were once sheep in wolf's clothing now
You're lambs at the slaughter
You got big important friends
Who with a twinkle in their eyes say
They'll be with you 'til the end
They invite you out to ice cream
They insist you eat your fill
Then they smile at each other and
They stick you with the bill
They giggle extra hard when you
Max out your credit card
You're a sheep in wolf's clothing
You're watched over by your friends
They hook you up with an apartment in a big
Barbed-wire pen and they come and pinch your
Cheeks with such fatherly affection
And they tap into your e mail
Solely for your own protection
If they counted votes from black sheep
Would they still win their elections?
And you live a life of privilege
In the shadow of your friends
Who've secured the greenest pastures
With their business acumen
So you graze on the grasses and
You're spared from ever thinking
Or from knowing why your friends
Are always snickering and winking
You're fed shock and awe and
You swallow without blinking
Then one day with dismay your
Friends say you've been attacked
But, you can buy a shred of safety
With the shirt right off your back
And your sacrifice reveals your
Patriotic sons and daughters
Were once sheep in wolf's clothing now
You're lambs at the slaughter
