Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead
And 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

And when you see a cane I see a crook (Oh oh)
And when you see a crowd I see a flock
It´s sheep we´re up against
(Sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against)
It´s sheep we´re up against
(Sheep we´re up against, 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 cane I see a crook (Oh oh)
And when you see a crowd I see a flock
It´s sheep we´re up against
(Sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against)
It´s sheep we´re up against,
(Sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against)
Ah ha

Ah yeah ooh

And when you see a cane I see a crook (Oh oh)
And when you see a crowd I see a flock
It´s sheep we´re up against
(Sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against)
It´s sheep we´re up against
(Sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against, sheep we´re up against)
Woah ho
It´s sheep we´re up against, woah ho
Woah, woah, woah, woah
