The Liberty Bard: THE INDIVIDUALISTIC ANT

Lyrics by JJ3 The Liberty Bard

I am an ant!

And I don't believe in conformity, which sometimes makes it difficult to be an ant.

Breaking my back day after day, carrying crumbs to put on the queen's tray,

I want to run I want to 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 searching for satisfaction.

I am a slave to the being in charge, she's got her visions but they are not ours,

My power's small hers is quite large, I guess that's why she's the being in charge.

CHORUS:

I listen to her what can I do?

She's bigger longer quicker and stronger --

I want to strip her power I do,

But I don't have a way to kill a tyrant - do you?

The other ants they have nothing to prove.

So I just write and try to plan my next move,

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

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

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees, which does makes it hard for me to be me.

I won't feel complete until I set us all free.

So I write it all down, thought after thought,

I try to point out that our leaders are bought,

I ask them to question all they've been taught,

I ask them to think how our culture is caught.

Caught between a class divide that grows every day,

Caught between religious rights for which wars are waged,

Caught between a wondrous world that captures my heart,

And the necessity of progress that tears it apart.

CHORUS

I am an ant!

So if you feel like an ant, if you feel like I do,

Then join me and let's change our culture's worldview.
