"Three Sheep Grazing" lyrics

Andy White & Tim Finn Lyrics

"Three Sheep Grazing"

Three sheep grazing
Had no need to be four
Just enough grass
To keep the wolf from the door
Because it felt wrong
No one tried to graze
Another animal
Not like nowadays

Creatures hiding
On the ocean floor
From the dragnets
Where's the unwritten law
That every fisherman
Should contain his catch
Bottom dwellers
Need their own patch

Isolation
It's there behind your screen
Isolation
Wake up it's only a dream
Creatures hiding
It's at your peril
That you choose to ignore

It's at your peril

Isolation
It's there behind your screen
Isolation
Wake up it's only a dream
You've got another thing coming
If you ignore
What's happening on the common

Hear ye
You're gonna feel no shame
There'll be no grass left
And no one left to blame
Three sheep grazing
Contented herbivores
On the commons
Like it was before

Isolation
Isolation
Our global village
Lost the unspoken rules
That kept us all involved
It was personal

Isolation
Isolation
Three sheep grazing
Contented herbivores
On the commons
Like it was before
