It's No Wonder the Ants Got Rid of Their Ears

from A Million Murder Ballads (2020) by Benjamin Lee Farley

/

lyrics

Foolish conflagrations
Just something to do with our hands
Placard-bearing
Sandwichboard-wearing
Pamphleteers

It's no wonder

It's no wonder the ants got rid o their ears
We got the future in one hand and the other hand waving our dicks at the screen
Punching holes in hollow walls and
Stroking the hair of preteen girls
Poking holes in the pockets of the pants they sell
Poking holes in the condoms they hand out at bars
Poking holes in people's theories who don't really know what the word theory really means
Poking holes in the thinnest of skins and leaving
Regrettable tattoos

It's no wonder

Just gotta crack the code all over again
One size fits all antennae
Just something to do with our hands
Foolish conflagrations

I'd like to shake the ground I walk
But I'm a wee bit small for it
Let me crawl under this rock
Ooh but I'm too tall for it

There was a parade on Tuesday
No idea who it was for
Strangers asking favors
Old man lookin' for a "piece[o]aaaaaass"
Who's kissing who's mother with who's mouth?
Mind your fucking business

I'll be handing out a carton a week
Like I think I'm my big brother
I hope my friends don't buy their own hype
I hope this parade starts an earthquake
I'd like to shake the ground I walk
But I'm a weeeeee bit too small for it
So just let me go hide under this rock
Ooh but I'm too tall for it
