The Bees

from Golden Delicious by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

The more you can do
The less you can be
Do what you will
You can’t make me

Work so hard
And tell me, why?
Are you afraid
You’re gonna die
Like the bees

The more you can do
The less you can feel
Hard as rock
But not as real

Honeycomb
You’re not as sweet
As the gold
Of honeybees

The more you can do
The less you can see
Cast your die
Into the street

Watch your luck
Fall to your feet
You’re gonna die
Just like the bees
