Ant - Tears For the Sheep lyrics

[Verse 1: Slug] A city of fools I wanna bash whoever's responsible for this incomprehensible lack of pa**ion The s**er's been seduced down to the stick And the peasants fill their bellies with the poisons you omit I've come to separate the heads and shoulders Of these tracing paper soldiers That have been designated to take it over I'mma roll a couple of boulders off the cliff On the road below (look out below) Cause I don't know what I'mma hit (yeah) I live by the word until I die by your sword Even when I'm dead my head will live inside your RCA cords I wait for the right time, but it resembled now-a-days Descended on the Earth to put an end to all your holidays The a**a**in covered in plain clothes Smothered the sunlight and set flame to your rainbows And then came the storm (and then came the storm) Bewildered those that didn't contemplate Fake disguised as the norm (as the norm) And when the smoke evaporated and the damage was accessed The casualties were counted as they looked upon the mess As they focused their eyes on the horizon, who'da guessed? All that stood on top the hill was number seven silhouette [Hook: Slug] (And with this) head splitting tears, cement breaking Weeping for these people walking in their sleep (these people walking in their sleep) My talk is not as cheap And my thoughts are not as deep As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep Head splitting tears, cement breaking Weeping for these people walking in their sleep (these people walking in their sleep) My talk is not as cheap And my thoughts are not as deep As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep [Verse 2: Slug] They say a picture's worth a thousand words Well I beg a thousand pardons for each word I've used for personal gain But the letters that float through my head to mold my sentences Could never be contained by a simple picture frame For every intoxicated moment, I hate life I strive to balance my aura by dancing with the light And sometimes it's difficult to stay quiet I fight it, each time I find myself walking across your eyelids Wishin' the malnutrition, the imagination of yours Could see the truth you breathe through each one of your pores And now the days are drastic, the nights last forever Wanna tear this motherf**er up and put it back together I'd like to ask the cats that act like they might hear If you spent the energy I've spit, trying to count the tears One of these days you're gonna climb the tallest building of all Give a warning to those below and let the tears fall [Hook: Slug] (And with the) head splitting tears, cement breaking Leaping for these people walking in their sleep (these people walking in their sleep) My talk is not as cheap And my thoughts are not as deep As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep Head splitting tears, cement breaking Leaping for these people walking in their sleep (these people walking in their sleep) My talk is not as cheap And my thoughts are not as deep As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep [Brief Singing: Some Female] (2X) Nobody sees 'cept my mirror on the wall [Verse 3: Slug] The damage...overseen by anyone that comprehends The anguish...felt only by the ones that invest The language...was primitive, the listener complex And everybody was trying to define success All the self-proclaimed prophets dressed up to look like poets Pretending to be martyrs that they're not You can learn all their names And ingrain them on your brains Memories so you can spout them off the top (spout them off the top) Yo k** 'em all, and let God give 'em haircuts The flood has begun, and no one has been paired up So I'mma take a second and beckon the downfall Of your so called civilized nation (Yo yo yo yo yo) stop the sound now! (Cough)
