Verse 1

Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead

The shepherd's smile seems to confirm my fears

And they've never questioned anything, never disagreed

Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears

Chorus

And when you see a cane, I see a crock (Woa oh oh oh)

And when you see a crowd, I see a flock

It's sheep we're up against

sheep we're up against

It's sheep we're up against

sheep we're up against

Verse 2

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

Chorus

And when you see a cane, I see a crock (Woa oh oh oh)

And when you see a crowd, I see a flock

It's sheep we're up against

sheep we're up against

It's sheep we're up against

sheep we're up against
