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.) A billion feet sound just like
a billion drums. A bed is creaking as the new 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 orgasm`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
