Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead   The shepherds smile seems to confirm my fears   They've never questioned anything, they've never disagreed   Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears      And when you see a can I see a crook   And when you see a crowd I see a flock   It's sheep we're up against   Sheep we're up against      When I was young they used to get me counting sheep   But the counting I did was all in vain   Now when I'm tired and I'm trying to get to sleep   I count humans jumping onto trains      And when you see a can I see a crook   And when you see a crowd I see a flock   It's sheep we're up against   Sheep we're up against      And when you see a can I see a crook   And when you see a crowd I see a flock   It's sheep we're up against   Sheep we're up against
