(album: Share This Place: Stories And Observations - 2007)

You have but two, we have six
We can use them to such great accomplishment
The sum of all, all of us all
Outweighs humanity's obstinance

You argue much, don't get along
You seem to try to do everything alone
But who needs to speak in our society
We take advantage of our pheromones

We communicate with chemicals
But this is not as you might think just mechanical
It's an expressive art, instinctually smart
Secretions quiet and dependable

Altruism is our way
Each alone we do not have so much to say
We're individuals in a community
One hundred forty million years we've been this way

With wisdom and ingenuity
We outwit so much larger adversaries
We symbolize this treasured prize
Buried deep within the human psyche

Between order and instability
We thrive on this beautiful complexity
We regulate our density
Emerge in the social biology

We get things done
We get things done
We get things done
We get things done

We get things done
We get things done
We get things done
We get things done

We get things done
