Ari Herstand - Proud Honeybee lyrics

So here we stand, we are infants so small Dreaming that one day we'll be on top of it all Above the mountains, above the trees But here I sit wishing down on my knees I've seen the creatures of this so called promise land I don't believe that what we brag is all that grand Yes wave them flags like a proud honeybee Blindly working for the queen of an invisible feat So how do we recuperate Just now we emancipate Our right to be free With one tiny fee We trash away the innocent face of all the colors who stand in our way America, home of the free and brave Imperceptible to what her French statue raves A prison cell holds on to our foreign hate A beehive hell is fine for our conscience's sake Because a honeybee gives treats to the free, but stings them dead if you frighten its destiny America, home of the free and brave Imperceptible to what her French statue raves It's good enough when we lock up the fear It's our master plan for patriot love right here I am so fed up with the whole patriot scheme that's k**ing the dream Of integration with everyone How can we preach love when we interfere with the buzz: "With liberty and justice for all" America, home of the free and brave Imperceptible to what her French statue raves It's good enough when we lock up the fear It's our master plan for patriot love right here And this honeybee bringing treats to me, stinging them dead – I feel so free! Mama can't you see it's time for me to teach this honeybee to see The hive is erasing the words of our fathers' dreams
