I Wanna Be an Ant

Ants live in a colony
(a super organism)
Ants find strength in unity
(they share the same mission)

Nobody's gettin' out of line
(Nobody's gettin' out of line, wa-ooo)
Their fates are intertwined

I wanna be an ant
I don't wanna be an individual
I just wanna be part of a whole
I wanna be an ant

I wanna be an ant
I wanna have my mind made up for me
And when I die I hope I come back
To be an ant

Ants never wonder what their purpose is
(they don't wonder about heaven)
They don't stop to wonder why they're carrying away ant carcasses
(they practice Necrophoresis) [pronounced: nec-ro-for-is-is]

They're just livin' in the now
(They're just livin' in the now, wa-ooo)
Man, I wish I knew how

I wanna be an ant
I don't wanna be an individual
I just wanna be part of a whole
I wanna be an ant

I wanna be an ant
I wanna have my mind made up for me
And when I die I hope I come back
To be an ant

But if we built a complex system
And we shared a single mission
And realized this ant-like vision
Would I get the life I'm wishin?

I really wanna kill my ego
But lobotomy's illegal
Why can't everyone be equal
My ambition's killing me, so

I wanna be an ant
I don't wanna be an individual
I just wanna be part of a whole
I wanna be an ant

I wanna be an ant
I wanna have my mind made up for me
And when I die I hope I come back
To be an ant
