Sheep and Sheeple

I’ve always been a Pink Floyd fan, particularly their early work. Roger Waters, though a nut job himself, always had insights that he slipped into his songs. Here are the lyrics to the 1976 song Sheep. Sounds like the sheeple of today pretending the barbaric violence and hate on the streets to bring down western society and America are peaceful protest.

Sheep by Pink Floyd (Roger Waters):

Hopelessly 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
The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

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

Let's block ads! (Why?)
