His mom says he's crazy, dad says he's lazy
They hate the clothes he wears, hate the way he cuts his hair
They think they know what's right, never listen to his plight
They call him a queer, he goes out in total fear
Black sheep

His family won't let him be
His temper's tested and then he gets arrested
It's the same old song, and so he sings along
In a couple of days things at home are just the same
Black sheep

See, society - they're the sheep
Mom's on drugs, uncle's a thug
Dad the star in a company car
Sister, brother, don't look out for one another
Poor black sheep.
