lyrics

SHEEP IN WOLVES CLOTHING

You were a wolf dressed up like a sheep
And here I come Little Bo Peep
I thought you were lost, I’m here to help
But I only found you cuz I was lost myself

So we made a deal so we could get back home
I thought traveling with wolves was safer than traveling alone
I was a fool to think I was free from harm
You had all that extra wool to keep me safe and warm

Comfy, cozy how well I sleep
Right through the alarms, lazy bo peep
Maybe I shoulda seen right through his disguise
But I pulled the wool over my own eyes

They tried to warn me, my friends said, “check out his slicked back hair”
I swear that there’s a wolf hiding somewhere under there
He smells just like a wolf, he’s acting pretty mean
I just thought he was the loneliest look wolf I’d ever seen

We start to fight. We prepare for battle
I spent all of my time wishing I had raised cattle
Sure that wool was nice & soft
But right now I could use a little leather, something a little tougher

I need some armor I need some thicker skin
So I’m not messed up by this mess I’m in
I’m shooting from the hip, I take it on the chin
Nobody loses nobody wins

Now I can see, yer up to no good
Didn’t I hear about you from old Red Riding Hood
You got her grandma and you almost got her
But you won’t get me you won’t get me you won’t get me

We’re trading punches, red neck tie power
Business lunches and charging by the hour
You smell the money like it was blood
And you suck like a tick on the dog that you are
Just like I knew you would

Congratulations you got me by the throat
You won the pissing match and how you like to gloat
Living and dying by the words I wrote
Bury me smiling in my brand new wolf skin coat
