Get It Behind

In front of the mob,
it's a riot out there,
so get me behind ---
well, well behind the angry crowd

In front of hypocrisy,
it's submit to perversion,
or get pie in your face,
so get me a rock under which to hide

In front of reeling, fanatical cheerers,
it gonna get wild, it gonna get freaky,
so, Bitte Meine Herren ---
way, way behind is not far enough

"Get it behind" say shepherds to 4-legged workers,
and sure enough, a flock running helter-skelter
falls into line
proper and sheepish.
