Chain of Command Lyrics by Peter Oren

Anthropocene

2017

Better you than me
Said the dog to the sheep
Keep your place in the pack
Or else my teeth at your back
If there’s a wolf in the night
It is me who will fight
You’re mine to have and to herd
I live and die by my master’s word
You will fall on your sword
You will do as you’re told
Just a pawn on your knees
Lemme hear you beg and plead
You will do as you’re told
You will work and get old
You will die in your time
You will pay your master mind
Every day my greatest bane
Is a chain of command
And it can be found around my neck bound and
Held by a human hand
Better you than me
Said the dog to the sheep
Keep your place in the pack
Or else my teeth at your back
If there’s a wolf in the night
It is me who will fight
You’re mine to have and to herd
I live and die by my master’s word
Every day my greatest bane
Is a chain of command
And it can be found around my neck bound and
Held by a human hand
