Song language: English
Sheep |
| July the fourth in the market town |
| Farmers have come for miles around |
| Bringing their wives and children |
| A farmer stands with his youngest son |
| Watching their sheep driven from the pen |
| The slaughterhouse is waiting |
| Look they’re turning back |
| They’re frightened |
| Dogs are snapping at their heels |
| Jumping on each other’s backs |
| Hear their squeals |
| The young boy stands looking quite dismayed |
| How can they know they’re just animals |
| Come pull yourself together |
| The farmer tells him to look inside |
| Row after row of raw carcasses |
| Their blood runs in the gutters |
| Listen to their silly bleating |
| Farmer beats them with his stick |
| Milling by the open door |
| Don’t be sick |
| The young boy |
| Takes a look around |
| See people watching blankly |
| And he pities them |
| For they too |
| Look like sheep |
| And he tells himself |
| When he grows up |
| When he becomes a farmer |
| He will just plant seeds of love |
| He will just plant seeds of love |
| He will just plant seeds of love |
| And he will harvest peace |
