Lyrics Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band – Ant Man Bee

White ants runnin’
Black ants crawlin’
Yellow ants dreamin’
Brown ants longin’

All those people longin’ to be free
Uhuru ant man bee
Uhuru ant man bee

All the ants in God’s garden they can’t get along
War still runnin’ on
It’s that one lump of sugar
That they won’t leave each other ‘lone

Why do you have to do this, you’ve got to let us free
Why do you have to do this, you’ve got to set us free
Why do you have to do this, you’ve got to set us free
Why do you have to do this, you’ve got to set us free

Uhuru ant man bee
Uhuru ant man bee

Now the bee takes his honey then he sets the flower free
But in God’s garden only
Man and the ants, they won’t set each other be
