Save the Ants

i am young, i want to join a protest,

a problem rose, cause i'm not the best

i want to save a life, but then yet,

i'm not a vegetarian, i regret

my mother owns a mink, you see,

and i will fight for your liberty

i gave the bald eagle a trial,

and humpback whales are out of style

i need to discover a cause, where my life is not a clause

to protest truth and honestly,

i formed a movement just for me.

save the ants, let the feeling grow

step on an ant, just say no

save the ants, as the feeler grows

ants have a place, and it's not between your toes

ants are never in your way,

yet you squish them anyway

i watch where i step with gaul,

i wear shoes two sizes too small

all my friend tell me to chill,

i'm making a mountain out of an ant hill

step softly if you please

... Dom DeLouise

what have they ever done to you,

but stick to the bottom of your shoes

keep ant bodies off your socks,

go squish the new kids with some blocks

i'm just doing what i can,

cause i am not the only one

CHORUS

(Tracy Chapman: It won't do no good to call the police, if they come at all)

CHORUS

protesting everything under the sun, cause i'm not the only one.
