I Am An Ant Lyrics - Singles - Icicle

I am an ant, I am an ant, I am an ant, I am an ant 

Breaking my back day after day 

Carrying crumbs to put on the Queen's tray 

I wanna run, I wanna play 

I need a dream that will take me away 

My every thought, my every action 

Put into motion by a tyrant led faction 

I am not whole, merely a fraction 

A fractured soul seeking satisfaction 

I am a slave to the being in charge 

She's got her vision but it ain't mine 

My power is small, hers is quite large 

I guess that is why she's the being in charge 

I listen to her, what can I do 

She's bigger, longer, quicker and stronger 

I wanna strip her power, I do 

But I don't know how to kill a tyrant, do you? 

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees 

Which makes it harder for me to be me 

I won't feel complete until we are free 

I'm reaching my threshold, can't you see? 

The other ants have nothing to prove 

They just carry on with nothing to lose 

I try to plan my next move 

How do I get the hill to to go with my groove? 

I write it all down, thought after thought 

I try to point out our leaders are bought 

I ask 'em to question all they've been taught 

Make them see how our culture's caught 

Between a class divide that grows every day 

Religious rights for which wars are waged 

(In) this wondrous world that captures my heart 

And the necessity of progress that tears it apart 

I am an ant, I am an ant, I am an ant, I am an ant
