(原詩)

Soldiers, workers, slaves and farmers
Nurses, queens and drones
Wish they'd leave my head tonight
Let me rest my bones

A billion feet sound
Just like a billion drums
A bed is creaking
As the new messiah comes
The cars are crashing
And the bacon is hacked
The coffin's lowered
And the lunches get packed
Still segregating
'Cause we insects are too proud
Doesn't matter what colour of cat
You are there's no dogs allowed

And the screaming sky
Won't let me sleep
The stars are laughing at us
As we crawl on and on
Across this antheap

War planes go over
But no wages go 'round
A sign goes up to say hey
We're twin towned
The dough is rising
But no bread will be baked
The fur is genuine
But the orgasm's faked
We're spending millions to learn
To speak porpoise
When human loneliness is
Still a deafening noise

And the screaming sky
Won't let me sleep
The stars are laughing at us
As we crawl on and on
Across this antheap

Soldiers, workers, slaves and farmers
Nurses, queens and drones
Wish they'd leave my head tonight
And let me rest my bones

And all the world's babies
Are crying still
While all the police cars
Harmonize with power drills
As jets and kettles form a chord
With screeching gulls
Accompanied by truncheons
Keeping time on human skulls

And the screaming sky
Won't let me sleep
The stars are laughing at us
As we crawl on and on
Past lovers who'll leap
On and on past widows who'll weep
On and on no more than skin deep
On and on across this antheap
On and on, on and on
