Sheep to the Slaughter Songtext

Sheep to the Slaughter Songtext
What′s wrong mommy?
The people are upset about some things darling
Why are they yelling?
They want attention, they're trying to get attention
So that people will listen to them
This is our way of trying to get some media attention
Because they are ignoring us, they are ignoring the anti-war movement
They′re ignoring the anti-government movement, we love our country
But we cannot trust our government anymore
Our government is totally out of control
George Bush is full of shit, and who do you believe?
Do you believe George Bush or do you believe me?
That's what it's coming down to, do you believe your neighbors
Do you believe the people that live in your home town?
Or do you believe these mad dog killers in Washington D.C.?
Are we setting up a situation where young people
Who are just starting to come of age
Are gonna have no choice but to either join the military
Where there seems to be a lot of money
Or to go to jail where there seems to be a lot of money
Is that what this is lining up to be?
When we, when we stand here today
It is not enough to simply be for peace
We have to be for social justice
The fact is that right now, even as we are talking
People are being murdered by U.S. imperialism throughout the middle east
And throughout the world
Our sons and our daughters are out there being used as cannon fodder?
It′s an outrageous
And we should stand up and seize the hour and fight back
If there is going to be any peace on earth
It is going to come as a result of our people uniting
To defeat U.S. imperialism once and for all
Easily I approach the microphone, in this land of jokes
Can′t leave it alone, 'cause ya know, I could see right though
Corrupt plans and these bullshit scams and untruths
We livin′ in a maze, different days and times
The world is a stage, most truth is a lie
In this propaganda matrix, the sheep just die
For these murderous conservatives with corporate ties
Deny knowledge of the truth, ignorin' the poor
They just human ammunition for these capital wars
Just human ammunition and collateral d
That′s why millions of us holla risin' up in the streets
And when ya see me understand I′m representin' a voice
The majority would feel if ever given a choice
I don't need this seedy media they only annoy
′Cause the only ones that wanna scrap ain′t never deployed
Who do the fightin' for these rich white folks, and they wars?
No it ain′t Drew Carey, Dennis Miller or stars
Fox News, Mike Savage, Bruce Willis or Rush
Won't be MSNBC, CNN or a Bush
Never Toby Keith, Hannity, O′Reilly or Clint
Ain't ClearChannel, know they ain′t supportin' dissent
Never Blair, Kid Rock, or Tom Cruise or vows
Of James Woods, Rob Lowe, Tom Selleck or Powell
Not Arnold Schwarzenegger, he ain't gonna shoot, or
Ted Nuget ′cause in war the targets got weapons too
Ain′t Cheney, Rumsfeld, Halliburton or Ridge
Or Ann Coulter, or Joseph Lieberman or the rich
Or any bitch up in congress, they just make laws
When it comes to fightin', we the ones that end up in gauze
So when you say, "Support that murderer," I have no applause
Even if he got his jumpsuit on, we pay the cost
The people are upset about some things darling
Why are they yelling?
They want attention, they're trying to get attention
So that people will listen to them
This is our way of trying to get some media attention
Because they are ignoring us, they are ignoring the anti-war movement
They′re ignoring the anti-government movement, we love our country
But we cannot trust our government anymore
Our government is totally out of control

Do you believe George Bush or do you believe me?
