Black Sheep

Baa baa black sheep No one listens to you You see the truth No one else sees You hear the cries The screams and the pleas But why why black sheep Do you weep your eyes away? They are the ignorant Heads turned in fear They are the cowards That choose not to hear So bye bye black sheep Don’t wade in wanted water They’re lost to reason now Just sheep at the slaughter
