Intro: G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

G+G
When you're a sheep in wolf's clothing,
     C majorC        G+G
you have big, important friends,
                          D MajorD        G+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 majorC         G+G
they insist you eat your fill,
                     D MajorD         G+G
then they smile at each other and they stick you with the bill.
C majorC                          G+G
They giggle extra hard when you max out your credit card.

When you're a sheep in wolf's clothing,
     C majorC           G+G
you're watched over by your friends,
                     D MajorD        G+G
they hook you up with an apartment in a big, barbed-wire pen,
                       C majorC      G+G
and they come and pinch your cheeks with such fatherly affection,
                   D MajorD       G+G
and they tap into your e-mail solely for your own protection.
C majorC                                   G+G
If they counted votes from black sheep, would they still win their elections?

C majorC       G+G
And you live a life of privilege in the shadow of your friends,
                         D MajorD     G+G
who've secured the greenest pastures with their business acumen,
                     C majorC         G+G
so you graze on the grasses and you're spared from ever thinking
                       D MajorD       G+G
or from knowing why your friends are always snickering and winking.
C majorC                         G+G
You're fed shock and awe and you swallow without blinking.

C majorC        G+G
Then one day, with dismay, your friends say you've been attacked,
                       D MajorD          G+G
but you can buy a shred of safety with the shirt right off your back
                  C majorC         G+G
and your sacrifice reveals, you patriotic sons and daughters
                        D MajorD       G+G
were once sheep in wolf's clothing now you're lambs at the slaughter.
