Moonwalker

Moonwalker is a 1988 American experimental anthology musical film starring Michael Jackson. Rather than featuring one continuous narrative, the film expresses the influence of fandom and innocence through a collection of short films about Michael Jackson, several of which are long-form music videos from Jackson's Bad album. The film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which Jackson was known for performing. more »

All the rats came out of the woodwork
The day the wolves gave them their say-so
And the snakes came out and slithered beside them
Cause the sheep were begging for someone to eat them
And everybody sang a different song in the same key
Cause they thought that someone was gonna record them
So, all the rats came out and gave the instruction
Cause the sheep, the sheep
Were begging for someone to lead them
All the rats call the shots
No one takes a stand
The killers become the cops
They walk out together both hand in hand
The Hunter becomes the prey
Night becomes the day
We raise our kids in a cage
If they ain't got means to pay
All the rats keep us on our knees
We pay em back sevenfold
Always bring em just what they need
Like good sheep on the assembly line
Or a cog in a machine
Keep us all running clean
Tell us we're part of a team
But we've just got a disease
Close the curtains, draw the blinds
It's best to lead a double life
Unless you wanna lie all the time
You feel your heart start growing colder
Till you've gotta turn it over
Cause you still owe the company another 9 to 5
And the sheep
Are begging for someone to lead them
All the rats frame their pedigree
Whitewash out their enemies
Gun em down with impunity
You got herd immunity cause
You're a pig in a cage
The rats prod you into your place
You tell us that you'll keep us safe
But you can't wait to just throw us away
Like you might go shoot a dog in the streets
Or a person who looks at you mean
We've built more private cemeteries
Covering murders than sentences served
For the blood shed by police
In the first degree
The masters of selling deceit
Are the ones who profit when enemy's win
Close the curtains, draw the blinds
It's best to lead a double life
Unless you wanna lie all the time
You feel your heart start growing colder
Till you've gotta turn it over
Cause you still owe the company another 9 to 5
And the sheep
Are begging for someone to lead them
They're begging for someone to lead us
To lead us, yeah
Begging for someone to lead us
I'm begging for someone to lead us
I'm begging for someone to lead them
All the rats come out of the woodwork
And take everything but the floorboards
When we wake, we'll start to rebuild and thank them
Cause the sheep
The sheep
The sheep
Just want to believe in something
