KILLER BEES
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. too many bees
and not enough flowers.
flying cement trucks
buzzing the towers.
dung brick buildings
and cinder block homes,
concrete shoes
for dissident drones.
CHORUS: killer bees are coming!
killer bees are coming!
noitazilivic,*
noitazilivic,
civilization is in reverse.
we got older.
we got smarter.
life got harder:
noitazilivic.
II. spelling bees
are spelling better
now that the words
all have four letters.
spokesmen set
themselves on fire.
but I have seen
it all before.
CHORUS: killer bees are coming!
killer bees are coming!
noitazilivic,
noitazilivic,
civilization is in reverse.
we got older.
we got smarter.
life got harder:
noitazilivic.
ENDING: killer bees are coming!
killer bees are coming!
killer bees are coming!
killer bees are coming!
