Insects Rule
Brendan Benson

I once knew a woman, she was skin and bones

Invited all the insects to come into her home

She trained them so well, they could answer her phone

But the day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown


Her husband returned home from voyages at sea

To find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping tea

He drew his knife and swore he would have the spider's eyes

An army of red ants nearly took him by surprise


The sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked in

Outside the dogs were mesmerized by the humming from within

News spread throughout the town of the insects' arrival

People gathered in the church to pray to God and quote from the Bible


And men came with gasoline and torches abright

A billion flies covered the skies 'til it was dark as night

The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees

Now the insects rule so get down on your knees



And the town crier said, ‽You God fearing people had better beware

Gather up your idols and begin to prepare

The time has come, the locusts have taken the air

Negotiation's are in effect and the bugs don't even care”


Men came with gasoline and torches abright

A billion flies covered the skies 'til it was dark as night

The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees

Now the insects rule so get down on your knees


Now the insects rule so get down on your knees

Now the insects rule so get down on your knees

Now the insects rule so get down on your knees

Now the insects rule so get down on your knees
