- Sheep LyricsHarmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home and do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home and do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

✔️
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the track 'Sheep' by Pink Floyd makes use of metaphors to illustrate a community of people who, just like sheep, blindly follow the leader, represented by the shepherd. Moreover, the lyrics imply a kind of uprising against the very system that oppresses the listeners, thus calling upon them to stand up and question the authorities so as not to be governed and manipulated. The Sheep lyrics have all along underlined the themes of angst, introspection, social commentary, empowerment, and despair. The very song, however, at the same time, brings forth the dichotomy of the illusion and the real world, compliance and control, as well as, rebellion and awakening. There is also mention of danger and violence in the lyrics, and the use of some mature imagery and language might not be appropriate for kids younger than 13. The allusions to danger and the dark tone of the song imply that it would be better if the kids had their parents with them while listening.

This song is amazing. I don't know why it didn't earn it's place on their amazing album : 'Dark Side Of The Moon.' It's probably too long actually. But that doesn't mean I don't love it this much, yeh
