Livin' in the ant nest everybody packed in tight
But there ain't no queen to be seen in the corporate light
The ants still hustle and trust that they doin' alright
In the nest you're a pest if you ain't like the rest so they fight
And they live in their boxes and can't find a breath
Cos the stink and the smog is a lungful of death
Some succumb to the crack or the smack or the meth
It's a wonder that some ain't figured it yet

Cruel design that spins the mind when you take the time to see city grows on the traffic flow it's a come and go machine
You're on repeat when you're on the street on the beat in time just another part to pump the heart and keep the beast alive

Corporations need the drones
Need the single-minded clones
Call the ant nest cities homes
Conformity or die alone

Every ant gonna say there ain't no slaves today
Abolitionists came and blew that shit away
But if they count the coin that they get and they pay
Between ants and the slaves nothin' much ever changed
Masters in mansions with servants and bling
Make all the rules cos they own everything
Eat most of the bird and the ant gets a wing
They get the honey ant gets the sting

Fields have changed been re-arranged field hands the same they do it tough they livin' rough enough's enough to eat and sleep and creep to work at dawn
They make the trip, they feel the whip and if they slip they punished fast but they won't last the die is cast the nest destroys the unemployed work's why the ants are born

Corporations need the drones
Need the single-minded clones
Call the ant nest cities homes
Conformity or die alone

You can't escape
The nest is home
Ancestors here
And culture grown
No other place
Could compare
You'd never know
You been nowhere
The masters need
To hear you say
This nest is mine
And here I'll stay

Corporations need the drones
Need the single-minded clones
Call the ant nest cities homes
Conformity or die alone
