[Verse 1]
I'm not feeling alright today, I'm not feeling that great
I'm not catching on fire today, love has started to fade
I'm not going to smile today, I'm not gonna laugh
You're out living it up today, I've got dues to pay
[Pre-Chorus]
And the grave-digger puts on the forceps

The carpenter can take you out to lunch
Now, but I just want to play on my pan-pipes
I just want to drink me some wine

So you might as well have a good time, oh no
[Chorus]
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
[Post-Chorus]
Oh no, ah yeah, alright
Yeah, ho!
Nah, nah, ya
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip, I don't wanna feel the emptiness

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip, I don't wanna feel the emptiness
Bold marquees with stupid band names, I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip

[Interlude]
(Hey! Two, three, four!)
(Hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
And the grave-digger puts on the forceps
The stonemason does all the work
The barber can give you a haircut
The carpenter can take you out to lunch
Now, but I just want to play on my pan-pipes
I just want to drink me some wine
As soon as you're born you start dyin'
So you might as well have a good time, oh no
[Chorus]
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
Alright
Oh no, oh no
[Outro]
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
Go to Hell (Sheep go to Heaven) go to Hell (Goats go to Hell)
Go to Hell (Sheep go to Heaven) go to Hell (Goats go to Hell)
Oh no, go to Hell (Sheep go to Heaven) go to Hell (Goats go to Hell)
Go to Hell (Sheep go to Heaven) go to Hell (Goats go to Hell)
Oh no, go to Hell
Sheep go to Heaven, goats go to Hell
