i am young, i want to join a protest,
a problem rose, cause i'm not the best
i want to save a life, but then yet,
i'm not a vegetarian, i regret
my mother owns a mink, you see,
and i will fight for your liberty
i gave the bald eagle a trial,
and humpback whales are out of style
i need to discover a cause, where my life is not a clause
to protest truth and honestly,
i formed a movement just for me.
save the ants, let the feeling grow
step on an ant, just say no
save the ants, as the feeler grows
ants have a place, and it's not between your toes
ants are never in your way,
yet you squish them anyway
i watch where i step with gaul,
i wear shoes two sizes too small
all my friend tell me to chill,
i'm making a mountain out of an ant hill
step softly if you please
... Dom DeLouise
what have they ever done to you,
but stick to the bottom of your shoes
keep ant bodies off your socks,
go squish the new kids with some blocks
i'm just doing what i can,
cause i am not the only one
CHORUS
(Tracy Chapman: It won't do no good to call the police, if they come at all)
CHORUS
protesting everything under the sun, cause i'm not the only one.
