Soldiers, workers, slaves and farmers,
Nurses, queens and drones.
Wish they抎 leave my head tonight,
Let me rest my bones.
(ziggedy zig zag just look at 抏m. ziggedy zag, hey hey)
A billion feet sound just like a billion drums.
A bed is creaking as the messiah comes.
The cars are crashing and the bacon is hacked.
The coffin抯 lowered and the lunches get packed.
Still segregating 抍ause we insects are too proud.
Doesn抰 matter what colour of cat you are there抯 no dogs allowed.
And the screaming sky won抰 let me sleep.
The stars are laughing at us,
As we crawl on and on across this antheap.
War planes go over but no wages go 抮ound.
A sign goes up to say hey we抮e twin towned.
The dough is rising but no bread will be baked.
The fur is genuine but the orgasm抯 faked.
We抮e spending millions to learn to speak porpoise,
When human loneliness is still a deafening noise.
And the screaming sky won抰 let me sleep.
The stars are laughing at us,
As we crawl on and on across this antheap.
Soldiers, workers, slaves and farmers,
Nurses, queens and drones.
Wish they抎 leave my head tonight,
And let me rest my bones.
And all the world抯 babies are crying still.
While all the police cars harmonize with power drills.
As jets and kettles form a chord with screeching gulls.
Accompanied by truncheons keeping time on human skulls.
And the screaming sky won抰 let me sleep.
The stars are laughing at us,
As we crawl on and on past lovers who抣l leap.
On and on past widows who抣l weep.
On and on no more than skin deep.
On and on across this antheap.
