Crawling on a plate
Six billion ants
Crawling on a plate

Six billion ants

Doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
Like Abraham and Ishmael
Fighting over sand
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can

That is a fact of life

Now some of us build
And some of us teach
Some of us build
Some of us teach
And some of us kill
What some of us eat

That is a fact of life

Nobody knows
What happens when you die
Believe what you want
It doesn't mean you're right

That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life
