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]They [E5/F]will [E5]take [E5/F]us [E5]and [E5/F]they'll [E5]make [E5/F]us
[D5]Hum[E5]an [F5]Slaves [Bb] In an Insect [Esus4]Nation Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[D5]Hum[E5]an [F5]Slaves [Bb] In an Insect [Esus4]Nation Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[D5]Hum[E5]an [F5]Slaves [Bb] In an Insect [Esus4]Nation Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
The [Am]locust squats u[F]pon the leaf,[G] he's just biding his [Esus4]time[E]
The [Am]human world that [F]he surveys, he thinks "[G]one day all this will be
[E5] [E5/F] [E5] [E5/F] [E5] [E5/F] [E5] [E5/F] [E5]
The [Am]spiders are not [F]insects but in the [G]war they will side with the [Esus4]insects
[E5]Trai[E5/F]tors [E5]trai[E5/F]tors, [E5]spi[E5/F]der [E5]trai[E5/F]tors, [E5]they'll [E5/F]be - [E5]tray [E5/F]us [E5]and [E5/F]they'll
[E5]make [E5/F]us

[Dmaj7]Where did we all go wrong?[Bm7] The insects used to be our [Amaj7]brothers
[F#m7] Along came [C#m7]pesticide[F#m7] and on that day out [C#m7]friendship died
And [Bm7]pouring boiling water down ants nests couldn't have he[Amaj7]lped[Bm7][C#m7]
[Dmaj7] We have betrayed the trust[C#m7] of the bee and locust
[Dmaj7] Out there are some angry bugs[C#m7], and too many salted slugs
[Bm7] When will the madness end?[B7sus4][B7]
[Esus4]We can find if we look inside a [Esus4]different world we thought we'd lost but
[Esus4]If we look we're sure to find it, [Esus4]in the place we thought it was. It
[Esus4]must be here it's here somewhere I [Esus4]only put it down just now, a
[Esus4]kind of world that's not unkind but [Esus4]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]then I know that I'll be free 'cause I'll have found the insect in [Amaj7]me.
[D] The [E]insect in [A]me[D]
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.
[E5]They [E5/F]will [E5]take [E5/F]us [E5]and [E5/F]they'll [E5]make [E5/F]us
