I never thought that I would be the one to leave the line
To follow the old hallowed steps of those in my bloodline
But off I went exploring to make my family proud
Thought I would find glory not your funeral shroud
I am an ant, and I am scared
The finger of those gone points down from the air
I am an ant, and I'm afraid
Life has come so fast to me; when will it go away
I was raised in crowded walls and little scraps of food
Thought my mother was to blame for my bad attitude
I can still remember the way her soft touch felt
I understand, I play my hand: the cards that I was dealt
I am a rat, and I am scared
The finger of those gone points down from the air
I am a rat, and I'm afraid
Life has come so fast to me; when will it go away
I would always toe the line, I never broke the rules
Played unicorns at lunchtime, but always felt a mule
Now I find I doubt the definition of a friend
Would those that say they love me stick with me 'till the end
I am a girl, and I am scared
The finger of those gone points down from the air
I am a pest, and I'm afraid
Life has come so fast to me; when will it go away
Mmmmm
