Stare Into the Sun

You've got your sheep
But you're no shepherd
You've got your sheep (so many sheep)
But you're no shepherd

What does it mean
To be a man?
To pave all the hills
And empty the tills
And kick the can?
To buy everyone
And send someone's son
To Afghanistan?

You're fading out of view
And I'll be dancing while you do
The alpha of your eye
The gates of hell are open wide
(what a man what a man)
Just stare into the sun
(such a lonely lonely man)
And don't you look away
You orange vulgarian

The dog has had his day
Now it's time to pass away
Fold your tiny hands
And your ill-fitting pants
Load your shiny boat
I don't care where it goes
You're fading out of view
And we'll be laughing while you do
(what a man what a man)
Stare into the sun
(such a lonely lonely man)
Stare into the sun
