Soldiers, workers, slaves and farmers,
Nurses, queens and
drones.
Wish they'd leave my head tonight,
Let
me rest my bones.

(Ziggedy zig zag just look at
'em. 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's lowered and the lunches get
packed.
Still segregating 'cause we insects are too
proud.
Doesn't matter what colour of cat you are
there's no dogs
allowed.

And the screaming
sky won't 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 'round.
A sign goes up
to say hey we're twin towned.
The dough is rising but
no bread will be baked.
The fur is genuine but the
o_____'s faked.
We're spending millions to learn
to speak porpoise,
When human loneliness is still a
deafening noise.

And the screaming sky won't
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'd leave my head tonight,
And let me
rest my bones.

And all the world's 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't
let me sleep.
The stars are laughing at us,
As we
crawl on and on past lovers who'll leap.
On and on
past widows who'll weep.
On and on no more than skin
deep.
On and on across this antheap.
