The Great Gold Sheep

Lyrics

I'm going to do what I like
 I'm going to live how I want
 
 I'm going to build myself a great estate
 With lots of statues out front
 C hoirs from the Curtis Institute
 Singing me to sleep
 Wake up and worship the great gold sheep
 ♪
 I'm going to walk the pathways of the ancients
 I'm going to let my name be known
 
 I'm going to seek the wild haunts of this world
 Carve a place out all my own
 
 Heat up the iron until it glows
 Burn the brand so deep
 Wake up and worship the great gold sheep
 There's only one, splendid and fine
 
 The ages attest it's wondrous design
 
 You and me stand somehow above the fray
 And name everyone who's throwing their chance away
 ♪
 I'm going to write my name on everything
 I'm going to leave a lasting legacy
 And when my body's thrown with great force from a window
 The dogs will fight for whatever's left of me
 Shallow grave among the weeds
 Where the pale worms creep
 Wake up and worship the great gold sheep
