Bill Bailey - Insect Nation lyrics

We've got to stop the destruction of the planet. Yeah. We want trees, not factories. Hehehe. Yeah, think about it. Otherwise, the creatures of this earth will rise up and take what is rightfully theirs. Yeah, they are listening as we speak, ssshhhhhhh. They have ears. Some have ears on their knees. You know of whom I speak They will take us and they'll make us... Chorus Human slaves In an insect nation! Ah-ah-ah ah-ah! Human slaves In an insect nation! Ah-ah-ah ah-ah! Human slaves! In an insect nation! Ah-ah-ah ah-ah! Human slaves! In an insect nation! The locust squats upon the leaf He's just bidin' his time The human world that he surveys He thinks, "One day, all this'll be mi-i-i-i-ine!" The spiders are not insects But in a war they will side With the insects Traitors! Traitors! Spider traitors! They'll betray us and they'll make us! Chorus Where did we all go wrong? The insects used to be our brothers Along came pesticide And on that day, our friendship died And pouring boiling water down ant's nests, couldn't've 'elped We had betrayed the trust Of Mr Bee and Mr Locust Out there are some angry bugs And too many salted slugs When will the madness end? We can find If we look inside A different world We thought we lost But, if we look, we're sure to find it In the place we thought it was It must be here It's here somewhere I only put it down just now A kind of world That's not unkind But if look, we're sure to find it There it is! No that's not it The one behind The green one down the back No, the red one, the red one! Pick it up and spin it round Keep going mate! A bit further! Then I know that I'll be free Cos I'll have found the insect in me The insect in me! Xylophone Buzzing noise Xylophone Loud high whizzing noise I don't what that bit is! What about the worms, eh? Eyeing up your car, yeah Thinking they're gonna be driving that one day! Yeah! Imagine that, worms driving your car! Giving lifts to other worms! Taking them up the shops, getting stuff! Fiddling with your videos, messing with your lives! What about the crabs? Forgot about them, there all at it! We've gotta stop them! Stop them before it's too late! What we've got to do is harness the worms! Ride them round upon their backs! We are superior! We are the humans! These are the facts! Imagine the nightmare of having an insect boss Going into work "Good morning Mr Wasp!" AAAAAAAAAAAH! OH! Britain! nananana! Shout Human slaves, in an insect nation! Ah-ah- ah ah- ah! Human slaves, in an insect nation! Ah-ah- ah ah- ah! Human slaves, in an insect nation! Ah-ah- ah ah- ah! Human slaves, in an insect na...aaa...aaaa...tion They will take us and they'll make us... Human slaves, in an insect nation! Ah-ah-ah ah-ah! Human slaves, in an insect nation! Ah-ah-ah ah-ah! Human slaves, in an insect nation! Ah-ah-ah ah-ah! Human slaves, in an insect na...aaa...aaaa...tion
