Killer of Sheep

Oh, lulla-lulla-lulla Lullaby bye,

Do you want the stars to play with

or the moon to run away with?

They'll come if you don't cry.

So lulla-lulla-lulla lullaby bye,

in your mother's arms be sleeping.

You let anyone jump on your brother again,

and you just stand and watch,

boy, I'll beat you to death

i don't care who started what

or whether he was winning or losing.

Boy, you get a stick or-or-or-or-or

or a goddamned brick.

Get anything, and you knock the shit

out of whoever's fighting your brother,

' cause if anything was to happen to me or your mother,

you ain't got nobody except your brother.

And this goes for him too,

but he knows.

You' re the one that keep coming up

with this off-the-wall bullshit about

Henry started it.

Now, if the son of a bitch is too big for you,

you come get me.

You are not a child anymore.

You soon will be a goddamned man.

Now, start learning what life is about now, son.

Oh, lulla-lulla-lulla lullaby bye,

do you want the stars to play with

or the moon to run away with?

They'll come if you don't cry.

stop right here.

Get him, get him, get him.

Get that mother.

You dirty little-

hey, man, quit bullshitting.

Damn…

Hey, stop!

Can't you see the man's hurt?

You old poop butt.

You all right?

Who hit him with that rock, man?

Man, I didn't man.

Let me see, man.

Let me see your sore, man.

Aw, that doesn't hurt.

You poop butt.

Hey, man, who you calling a poop butt?

Hey, man, why don't we just go to the Vicksburg-

Hey, man, why don't we just go to Vicksburg Club, man,

and watch the hos go in and out?

Naw, man.

If anyone told ma that they even saw me

on the same block as the Vicksburg Club,

shoot, man, my ass is hers.

They'd have to call the police to drag her off me.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Come on, man

Stan Jr., where you going?

I'm going to get my BB gun.

Push.

Push, you guys.

You ain't doing it. Push.

Hey, man, what you doing?

Hey, man, what you doing, man, to my shoes?

Hey, you gone and broke

the motherfucking antenna, man.

Oh, man, don't worry about it.

What you looking at, punk?

I'll kick your heart out.

Man, let's get on, man.

You ain't seen nothin'.

Man, black gone and called the police, man.

Hey, man, I just-

Hey, man, come back here, man…

Man, no, man…

Oh, man.

No, man, I got something for him.

No, man, no, no

I'm heading for that punk

No, man, I'm gonna fuck him up.

Man, I ain't playing.

I wonder, my little darling,

where can you be again tonight

while the moon is shining bright?

I wonder.

My heart is...

just working myself into my own hell.

I close my eyes, can't get no sleep at night,

no peace of mind.

Why don't you kill yourself?

You would be a lot happier.

Go out like Johnny Ace.

No, I'm not gonna kill myself.

Got a feeling I might do somebody else some harm, though.

When was the last time you been in church?

Back home.

Since then, I've done a lot of things.

Haven't done nothing yet that would make the devil blush.

I don't have any trouble sleeping.

I ain't ashamed of nothing I can't help.

Hey, what's going on, killer?

Where's my BB gun?

Mama threw it away.

Daddy…

Daddy…

Hey, boy, stop acting like you ain't got no sense.

Daddy daddy

daddy daddy…

Young man-

I got to go, man.

What's going on?

Oh, man, that cat's something else.

Here come Bracy and Ernie Cox.

I don't want them asking me for any money.

I'm going out the front.

I see the wife got you towing the cart.

I say, Oscar must have been here.

How do you know that?

He's the only one I know

that wears that Old Spice aftershave.

Oh, say, man, if you want to catch Oscar,

he just left.

So you want some coffee, man?

Yeah, black.

Angie.

Angie.

Say, what does this remind you of

when you hold it next to your cheek?

Not a damn thing but hot air.

Didn't it remind you of when you' re making love,

how warm her forehead gets sometimes?

Just like this?

So I don't go for women who've got malaria.

So how y' all been doing, now?

Walking the streets all night,

We passed here about 3:00 last night,

and we saw the lights on,

but we decided to keep on stepping.

Why didn't you stop?

I'm always awake.

Yeah, counting sheep.

Man, I guess it's time for me to get ready and go to work.

Hey, man, maybe me and Ernest can luck up on a slave

if we's lucky.

He played one,

he played knickknack on my thumb

with a knickknack, paddy-wack,

give a dog a bone,

this old man came rolling home.

This is old man, he played two,

he played knickknack on my shoe.

With a knickknack, paddy-wack,

give a dog a bone,

this old man came rolling home.

Now I'm craving your body.

Is this for real?

Temperatures rising.

I don't want to feel

I'm in the wrong place to be real.

Whoa, and I'm longing to love you just for a night,

kissing and hugging and holding you tight.

Please let me love you with all my might.

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,

the reasons that we fear,

our feelings won't disappear.

Oooh…

and after the love game has been played,

all our illusions were just a parade,

and all our reasons start to fade.

la-la-la-la- la-la-la-la.

la-la-la-la- la-la-la-la.

la-la-la-la- la-la-la-la.

you never smile anymore.

I used to think you was just tired.

but I think deep down inside,

you worried, and you ain't happy.

Don't nothing ever make you want to smile?

Why don't you try to get some sleep?

I can do the dishes tomorrow.

Hey, y' all, stop whistling.

hey, y' all, look out…

Hey, boy, you got to move before you get hit.

What is America to me?

A name, a map, the flag I see,

a certain word, democracy?

What is America to me?

The house I live in, a plot of earth, a street,

the grocer and the butcher and the people that I meet,

the children in the playground,

the faces that I see,

all races, all religions, that's America to me.

Mother's there, expecting me.

Father's waiting too.

Lots of folks gathered there,

all the friends I knew.

All the friends I knew.

Hey, Stan.

Can you come out and play, man?
