Higher Lovers - Apes Like Sheep Lyrics

I want to spread my wings on the water
Feel those ripples glide
But I am forced into a box
Of prisoners for the ride
I want to say what I believe
And not what I am told
But I am forced to toe the line
My thoughts are all controlled
Once evolving, now descending, home
Once ascending, now regressing, home

Apes live like sheep
Lions cower in retreat
Legends drowning in the deep
Anesthetized, asleep
Apes live like sheep

Apes
Sheep
Apes
Sheep

I live in a land of humbled giants
Quivering in the street
With what I need confounded by
A privileged elite
Deafened by their chattering
The sharks begin to bleat
But in my heart I know I'm free
Not strapped into my seat
Once ascending, now regressing, home
Once defying, now complying, home

Apes live like sheep
Lions cower in retreat
Legends drowning in the deep
Anesthetized, asleep
Apes live like sheep

I rail against all dumbing down
I cry out in the gale
I'm hounded by their acronyms
My soul is not for sale
Don't tell me I'm your LCD
See it, say it, sorted, he
Catch it, bin it, kill it, we
Thinking twice is thinking free

Apes live like sheep
Lions cower in retreat
Legends drowning in the deep
Anesthetized, asleep
Apes live like sheep

Apes
Sheep
Apes
Sheep
