Counting Sheep Lyrics by Meryl Streek

Songs For The Deceased

0

Working a 9-5 for some prick you despise
And there's no money to be made in an industry that's already failed
Treats you like a peasant and spits you back out into pieces
And you've every reason to be annoyed
Begging to get a gig so you can play in front of 15 piss heads
And it takes balls to do what i do
Stand here in front of you
I get the most support from total strangers and that statement says it all
It's nice to be nice but sometimes you reach your limit
Trying to live and survive when everyone around you is a sheep with a desk job
Taking orders with no bite in their life
It's a society made to benefit the elite and rip everyone else off
And our politicians are landlords
And our landlords are politicians
It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Spitting the same lies they'll make sheep of your life
And remember why you're living at home at 30
And why your 30 living at home with no hope to be known
And remember why you are sitting in a waiting room with a leg hanging off
And remember when you're paying your life away in taxes
Just remember that the last 12 years who are on the ones in charge
The irresponsible coffin dodgers
And never give up on the life you deserve
We're born we live and eventually die
And I'm not here to sugarcoat it for you
And that's why you paid ten pounds to get in tonight
To have someone like me tell you it's not gonna be alright
And I don't massage egos that's why we don't get along
You're part of the problem
Friends being forced on planes
And that was the better option
Our politicians are landlords
And our landlords are politicians
It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Spitting the same lies they'll make sheep of your life
They'll make sheep of your life
And it's nice to be nice
But sometimes you'll reach your fucking limit
Having traitors in charge would make you lose your mind
And if you take it at face value
You'll be made a sheep your entire life
And I've a pain in my hole listening to these lies
Fawlty Towers always comes to mind
And I've a hole in my heart telling me things just aren't right
And that's why I made this song for you to listen to
And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back
And if I was still sitting besides you, I'd be half a mile back
And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back
And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back
And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back
And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back
And if I was still sitting besides you, I'd be half a mile back
And having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold you back
Having doubt is the only thing that ever holds you back
