Lambs At The Slaughter

Intro: G C G D G

G
When you're a sheep in wolf's 
clothing,
          C                G
you have big, important friends,
who with a twinkle in their eyes say
               D               G
 they'll be with you 'til the end.

They invite you out to ice cream,
       C                  G
they insist you eat your fill,
then they smile at each other and 
       D                 G
they stick you with the bill.
C                                 
They giggle extra hard when you 
                   G
max out your credit card.

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

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

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