Ants

Are we any different from all the ants That live underground and on the plants? We scurry about our daily lives Consuming everything just to survive. We kill, we maim, we conquer, we destroy Leave nothing in our path, that's our ploy. If you're not one of us, you're one of them Out of our way, we bring nothing but mayhem. There's billions of us and billions of you That doesn't matter, we'll kill til there's few. We're part of the madness, here on this earth Nothing can stop us, you have no net worth. Armies of ants, locked arm in arm We bring no help, we just bring you harm. Say what you will, say that we're evil All that we want is your total upheaval. We are the ants that live underground Planning your fate, to make it unsound You haven't a clue, what's in your fate We can guarantee this, it'll be checkmate.
