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
