Grandpa Ant

I pour water on your head
To let you know that I'm behind you
And if I didn't pour water on your head

I don't understand how you could trust me
I don't understand how you'd put up with me
I don't understand what you would see in me
I can't understand anything you've said

I push your food down the disposal
I know it's bad for the plumbing
But if I didn't get rid of all your food

I know you would just eat it
And you wouldn't even share
With the ants that are coming round your house

Isn't it their house
Isn't it their house too now
Wouldn't it be nice if you let them know

When I was 23
I didn't want to turn 24
I started acting out in childish ways

I wouldn't let go of my youthfulness
As it slipped away from my hips and knees
Every day I'd complain to somebody
About my back
And how it hurts

I feel like an ant
Carrying the weight of the world
That I've lost touch with

And it's hard cause I'm hungry
It's hard cause I'm thirsty
All I want is some food
All I want is some water

And it gets heavier heavier heavier heaver
It gets heavier heavier heavier heavier

Don't I deserve
Don't I deserve a pile of dirt
Some place I can call my own
