Like Sheep (original) - Madeline Spooner

fighting impossible feeding plastic
is the best?
we can make it right
crowded by power lines
inviting confusion
fit your fist inside
suck in my pride
porn is the norm
and society's got a wet pussy
we are not free
we are pretending
finally the sun comes out
behind the smog
it wont be long
till all the sky is brown
and all the grass has died
with all the songs
that won't be played on the radio
god forbid someone here should know
what's really going on
what's really going on?
the sun is small
the earth is even smaller
who are we?
why should we be
led like sheep
into the machine?
we run in circles like gerbils
on treadmills
I drank the poison
despite knowing

I see mike vitale's original tune inspired you some what with this new commentary / song !

The theme "Human Sheep" was in effect ever since man/woman began to walk, the bigger fish always has its way against the smaller...will never change nor will Obama ever come close !

we are a number # on a paper

we are a statistic graph on a chart

all this will never change !

..though we are also artists who occupy our time with amusing ideas by creating another world outside this real one.

@Marco262a Things always change. Change is inevitable. It isn't until people, artists, speak up. Point it out.; put a magnifying glass on it; help people to see it, and to not put up with it. Maybe it won't happen in an obvious way, it won't happen in one night, but our consciousness is evolving. We will not always be sheep. But this is a time of great apathy and ignorance. Now is a time to look within ourselves and stop being sheep. Art may be an escape sometimes but it also has so much truth.

MadSpoon, you're so special. Your short film and beautiful music arouses a quick intense emotional reaction within us viewers. ---Wait a sec. Does that mean this is sheep porn?

Whatever. Great work. :)

[MadSpoon23]

@Orf Thank you so much. Peace

[zoeplankton]

True brilliance. Thank you for voicing what many have difficulty saying...

Great song and filmmaking too :) Really fantastic!

[MadSpoon23]

@zoeplankton Wow, thank you so much :)

now i m starting to hate sheep

[YouTabacco]

@Orf lol - sheep porn - thats what you got out of this.... haha - the video is awesome, but i would add nuclear power and the lovely foods we are being fed....

[Balboa515]

free-flowing... artistically and lyrically avant garde... and without any censorship thank god... if you only had a flower in your hair, I'd swear you were a bona fide hippie.

[SLEEPYnBORED]

@Marco262a things will never change for you if you keep hanging on that attitude... no offense but change is not something that comes from the outside or a higher power, it begins at the very start till it takes over everything....

let me ask you a rhetorical question, if somebody tells you about problem in the world how wil you react?

now take the same story but told as a poem or in a song... how are you feeling now?

Sometimes change is nothing that you will realize immediately, but it started

Madeline, I am always stunned by the words and music that come forth from your mind, your soul. The brilliance that people recognize in you is IT: your true gift. Yes, this theme has come before us in the past, but it must always repeat itself in order for change to occur. You have the voice, and you will be heard. Look at Egypt right now, people dying in protest, "the day of revolution against torture, poverty, corruption and unemployment." Always protest against evil. I do. Peace. Rama.

I first stumbled upon you when I found your Amber cover song. I think you're great! And your message at the beginning couldn't be more true. Although we have bigger problems like global water shortages, I see what you're talking about every single day. I can't stand social interaction through technology anymore, giving it all up. Don't wanna be a number. Our society is collapsing. More like parasites than sheep. There is hope though, just gotta wake up 'n look inside ourselves. Keep it up <3

.....nice song by the way...
