Lyrics
Verse 1:
We come from the same mother, but belong on different farms
There's one unlike the others in this rigid school of charms
Verse 2:
You think you're being subtle, but there's thunder in your storm
Not worth my own rebuttal, I won't ever fit the norm
And I'm a black......sheep
Chorus:
It ain't the color of my coat that makes it warm
The world's a stage our different shades can all adorn
Can't lead the flock if I do nothing but conform
Cast me out, I'll be proud
I'm a black...sheep
Black sheep (x2)
Verse 3:
Cookie cutter isn't me. You see, I don't want to belong
Everybody can agree on the same thing and still be wrong
Verse 4:
I'm good at many things, but fitting in just isn't one
Find another neck to wring. I'll choose the words for my own song
And I'm a black....sheep
Chorus
Bridge:
Some are made for looks, and some are made for sound
Some come out as squares, don't try to make them round
Don't have to build them up, but you cannot hold them down
Resistance isn't something you can drown
Chorus
