Black Sheep, Black Sheep, Have You Any Pain?
Strip away all that you please from my silent heart
Keep pulling until all the soft wool around it is gone
You'll know it's the end when there's nothing left
Which is exactly what you've done
Are you satisfied now or do you want more?
How much more could you crave?
Haven't I made myself naked enough for you yet?
With the chain of blood from my neck to your hand
I'm forever cursed to be tagged a fool
Over and over, I'm sent to the slaughterhouse
Just when I almost gain back all my meat after months
It's all ripped and torn from me again so easily in seconds..
Soon I found no point in piecing myself back together
And thus now this body stands rotten and deformed
Please don't look at it anymore..
Show no pity or sympathy, shed no tears
...I'm fine...
