Little Lambs
Gazelle Twin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stick it to the man
Or wave those flags
Wave those flags

Ta ta ta ta!

Stick it to the man
My little island
Little lambs

Fool, fool!

Fall Behind
In the herd
Lose your chance
Lose your nerve
You're just a cattle fly

Shoo, shoo!

So many distracted minds
At the scene of the crime
With all these cattle flies

Buzzzz!

Go ahead jump the line
No that's just fine
That's just fine

Char-char-charming!

No go ahead jump the line
I've got time to wait
I'm not going to whine

Twiddle your thumbs
Pick your nose
They'll fiddle the books
Then steal your clothes
And your alibi

2 for 1!

So many fantastic lies
But here's your cash
Here's your prize




Lucky there's an alibi
Save yourselves

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gazelle Twin's song "Little Lambs" seem to embody a sense of rebellion and defiance against societal norms and expectations. The lines "Stick it to the man" and "Wave those flags" can be interpreted as a call to challenge authority and the status quo. The repetition of "Stick it to the man" emphasizes the message of resistance. The reference to "little lambs" suggests a metaphorical representation of people who blindly follow and conform, perhaps implying that it's time to break free from the herd mentality.


The lines "Fall Behind, In the herd, Lose your chance, Lose your nerve, You're just a cattle fly" reinforce the theme of conformity and the consequences of not standing out or taking risks. It criticizes those who simply follow the crowd and lose their individuality and opportunities. The repeated "Shoo, shoo!" and "Buzzzz!" further highlight the dismissive attitude towards these conformists and their lack of agency.


The lyrics also touch upon the prevalence of distraction and deception in society. The lines "So many distracted minds, At the scene of the crime, With all these cattle flies" suggest that people are easily swayed and manipulated, distracted from the truth and the injustices happening around them. The phrase "cattle flies" implies annoyance and insignificance.


The lines "Twiddle your thumbs, Pick your nose, They'll fiddle the books, Then steal your clothes, And your alibi" criticize the passive nature of individuals who are unaware or apathetic towards the corruption happening. It warns of the consequences of being complacent and how one's possessions, credibility, and even innocence can be taken advantage of.


Finally, the lyrics conclude with "So many fantastic lies, But here's your cash, Here's your prize, Lucky there's an alibi, Save yourselves." This suggests that there are numerous deceitful narratives in society, but ultimately, individuals are responsible for their own well-being and should take action to protect themselves.


Overall, "Little Lambs" by Gazelle Twin conveys a message of rebellion, individuality, and the need to question and resist societal norms and deceptions.
