Ewe Lyrics

Ewe

You he(a)rd

You know the shepherd's call.

The lamb

Your God

Is at the shopping mall.

Doe

You fawn

The windows at your hooves

You know

Your limit

Rises when you're dancing to the groove.

The coyote cast his silicon eye over the herd. The clockwork whirled and ticked inside his clever head. This was his chance.

"I can give you more than you've ever dreamed of," he said. "All I ask for is a little food to keep my gears turning, and all will be yours."

Ewe

Your wool

That used to keep you warm

You sheered

And sold

Like it wasn't ever yours.

Crow

You peck

The ground under your toes

There's no-

thing left

The scraps have run out right under your nose.

The mechanical animal was a glutton for mutton. He kept the herd fat on oil and empty calories, loyal with the promise of things to come.

The sheep gave themselves willingly, but no matter how much the coyote ate, his hunger was never sated. It seemed there was nothing he wouldn't consume.

There was nothing left. The grass was all gone, and the herd was thin. The coyote had taken everything. It was time to take it back.

A cougar cast his eye over the rebelling ewe as the coyote toppled like a skyscraper. The herd stood defiant and proud. This was his chance.
