Black Sheep
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baa baa black Sheep
Have you any wool
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master and
One for the dame
And one for the little boy
That lives down the lane

Baa baa black Sheep
Have you any wool
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master and
One for the dame




And one for the little boy
That lives down the lane

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Black Sheep" are a twist on the famous nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep." The song starts with the same first verse as the nursery rhyme, but the rest is different. The lyrics are sung by Envy Adams, lead singer of the band The Clash at Demonhead which is a band that performs in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.


The lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways, but one interpretation is that they talk about the power dynamic between a master and their servants. The lyrics suggest that the black sheep has three bags of wool to give to their master, dame, and a little boy who lives down the lane. The black sheep is obliged to give away their wool, which represents their work and productivity, to their superiors, with no regard for their own well-being. The nursery rhyme and the song both showcase the power dynamic between those in power and those in a subordinate position. The song, in particular, focuses on the idea of not conforming to the expectations and norms set by one's superiors and not giving in to their demands.


In conclusion, "Black Sheep" is a song that takes a well-known nursery rhyme and gives it a twist to explore themes of power dynamics, conformity, and resistance. The song highlights the importance of not conforming to societal expectations and challenging the authority.
