Naked Earth - Tie Dye Fly lyrics

Did you hear about the new bug to hit the scene It's the funkiest bug that you've ever seen Check out its colours, it ain't black, brown or green It's a rainbow insect, do you know what I mean It comes from the tropics, it's a mellow pest It lives amongst the poppies and ganja, the best Fed by the paraquat we sprayed in its nest This six-foot bug is here on a quest Tie-dye fly, a product of chemical overload Tie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow like a laser show Tie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to toe Instead of kicking the bucket I just continue to grow Said, watch me grow -- watch me Here come the helicopters and they're gonna discharge I got the malathion munchies and it's making me hard Bring the kiddies inside and put away the car Better seal up the house or your lungs will get charred I'm talking for the insect nation We were here long before man's creation There's nothing to gain from our extermination Cos we're in a state of constant mutation Tie-dye fly, a product of chemical overload Tie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow like a laser show Tie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to toe Instead of kicking the bucket I just continue to grow Said, watch me grow Tie-dye fly, after you're gone we'll still remain Tie-day fly, listen to this simple refrain -- said, I must explain There's one thing for certain: it's you that you're hurtin' with your chemical squirtin' So be mellow, my friends, give us some respect There's nothing to fear from a little insect "We don't want to see you die", says the tie-dye fly (Russ Ives; 1994 Naked Earth Productions)
