lyrics

Is this your card, dear?
You thinkin' what I'm thinkin?
But let's don't start, dear--it's much too soon for drinkin'
It's only 10 AM, but later in my mind
So we can drink, dear--just please, put down the knife

Let's be honest, face the facts:
This is not some bold romance,
It's just lobsters and ants.

So hypothetically--again, this isn't real--
But if I leave you, so like, how would you feel?
I'd change my name again, maybe to John or Boris
And move to California, o-o-off to the Redwood Forest

Let's be honest, face the facts:
We're just partners in the dance
Just like lobsters and ants
Though it's awful, it's the truth:
This is not some bold romance,
It's just lobsters and ants.

Around the world, dear, I see a growing notion
It's brasher than a star, and larger than an ocean
The people all queued up, begging for mass destruction
And that's my line, dear; I can provide instruction

Let's be honest, face the facts:
We're just partners in the dance,
Just like lobsters and ants.
We're not special, we're the same
And we are ALL to blame
Just like lobsters and ants

Creeping 'cross the world in single-file armies
From my point of vantage, everybody scares me
Living like crustaceans, creeping on the surface
Crowded and we're hungry, searching for a purpose
What is your ambition? Your modus operandi?
Worms churn us to feces like dinosaurs and Gandhi
Still we soldier on, still we march in single-file
Praying for redemption; tormented all the while.
