Wolf

WOLF

one two three
so you're counting sheep
do you really think
they'll let you sleep
now that you have
given up your guard

one two three
honey don't you see
just because he's wrapped up in your
holy fleece
doesn't mean
no it doesn't mean
he ain't coming for you
armed to the teeth

oh and I tried to cry wolf
but you had to throw the book
oh how I tried to fight
but the numbers never lie
one two three
now they're coming for you and me

one two three
I am watching them leave
brothers mothers children lovers
overseas
don't look darling
no you'd better hide your eyes

oh and I tried to cry wolf
but you had to throw the book
oh how I tried to fight
but the numbers never lie
one two three
now they're coming for you and me

when will they wake up
will they ever wake up
what will it take to make them see
this hunger is living among us

oh and I tried to cry wolf
but you had to throw the book
oh how I tried
but the numbers never lie
one two three
and now he's coming for you and me
