We must stop the destruction of the planet
We need trees not "fact'rees"
Otherwise the Creatures of the Earth will take back what's rightfully theirs
You know of whom I speak
They are listening
They have ears
Some of them have ears on their knees
They wise rise up and reclaim this world
E5 E5/F E5 E5/F E5 E5/F E5 E5/F
They will take us and they'll make us

The locust squats upon the leaf, he's just biding his time

The human world that he surveys, he thinks "one day all this will be

The spiders are not insects but in the war they will side with the insects

Traitors traitors, spider traitors, they'll be - tray us and they'll

Where did we all go wrong? The insects used to be our brothers
F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 C#m7
Along came pesticide and on that day out friendship died
Bm7 Amaj7 Bm7 C#m7
And pouring boiling water down ants nests couldn't have helped
Dmaj7 C#m7
We have betrayed the trust of the bee and locust
Dmaj7 C#m7
Out there are some angry bugs, and too many salted slugs
Bm7 B7sus4 B7
When will the madness end?
Esus4 Esus4
We can find if we look inside a different world we thought we'd lost but
Esus4 Esus4
If we look we're sure to find it, in the place we thought it was. It
Esus4 Esus4
must be here it's here somewhere I only put it down just now, a
Esus4 Esus4
kind of world that's not unkind but if we look we're sure to find it
Esus4
There it is no that's not it, just behind the.. next one down.. keep on
going.. behind the pringles.. next shelf down.. that's it.
Esus4 Amaj7
then I know that I'll be free 'cause I'll have found the insect in me.

What about the worms?
They're eyeing up your car, yeah.
How could a worm drive a car you say?
Two on the pedals, two on the wheel
And one on the A to Z
It could happen!
What about the crabs?
I forgot about them, sideways quizlings.
