[Verse]
EmHarmlessly passing your time in the grassland away__Am______Em  
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air__Am____Em  
F#7You better watch out Athere maybe dogs about
Well, I've F#7looked over Jordan and I've seen
AThings are not what they seemEm  
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real__Am_____Em  
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel__Am______Em  
F#7What a surprise, Aa look of terminal shock in your eyes
F#7Now things are really what they seem
ANo, this is no bad dream

[Interlude]
DmThe Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green
He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives
He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth Amme to lamb cutlets
For lo he hath great power and great hunger
When cometh Cthe day Bmwe lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the Cart of karate
AmLo we shall rise up
And then we'll make the buggers eyes water
[Verse]
EmBleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream__Am___Em  
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream_Am____Em  
Have you F#7heard the news
The Adogs are dead

AGet out of the road if you want to grow old

The story behind the song

"Sheep" paints a picture of the working class as blindly following societal "dogs" and "pigs," exploited by a capitalist structure until they finally awaken and rebel. This song, originally titled "Raving and Drooling," was influenced by the political and economic turmoil of its time, including the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival riots and the Troubles in Northern Ireland, with Roger Waters anticipating similar future events. The middle section even includes a sarcastic take on Psalm 23. It's a song that channels the simmering frustration and eventual uprising of the exploited.
