Baa Baa by Aidan Mcnally

Tell me again how we’re not sheep?
Time to get up time to go to sleep
Time to take a shit and time to eat
We’re told what, when, where, and who to be
And we comply dutifully
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
That anyone is really free
See the cars lining up the street
All standing still until the light turns green
