Insect Liberation

(album: Espresso Bongo - 1980)

Driven to distraction
Insects everywhere
A tens buck for my taxi
Please take me away from here
Take me to the airport
Cause I'm taking off by plane
Don't take me to the station
There's more insects on the train

The insect population is rising and liberation's near
They're armed to the teeth and motorised
They're conquering the harbour and doze the beach away
And make every human work twenty four hours a day

They're with me when I'm sleeping
They're with me every day
They're noting down particulars
That will fix you in every way
They're driving on the roads
In vans, sedans and utes
They'll crowd you around on buses
And they'll crush your neatest suits

The insect population is rising and liberation's near
They're armed to the teeth and motorised
They're conquering the harbour and doze the beach away
And make every human work twenty four hours a day

The insect liberation is ruining our nation
