Tie Dye Fly lyrics
by Naked Earth



Did you hear about the new bug to hit the sceneIt's the funkiest bug that you've ever seenCheck out its colours, it ain't black, brown or greenIt's a rainbow insect, do you know what I meanIt comes from the tropics, it's a mellow pestIt lives amongst the poppies and ganja, the bestFed by the paraquat we sprayed in its nestThis six-foot bug is here on a questTie-dye fly, a product of chemical overloadTie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow like a laser showTie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to toeInstead of kicking the bucket I just continue to growSaid, watch me grow -- watch meHere come the helicopters and they're gonna dischargeI got the malathion munchies and it's making me hardBring the kiddies inside and put away the carBetter seal up the house or your lungs will get charredI'm talking for the insect nationWe were here long before man's creationThere's nothing to gain from our exterminationCos we're in a state of constant mutationTie-dye fly, a product of chemical overloadTie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow like a laser showTie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to toeInstead of kicking the bucket I just continue to growSaid, watch me growTie-dye fly, after you're gone we'll still remainTie-day fly, listen to this simple refrain -- said, I must explainThere's one thing for certain: it's you that you're hurtin' with your chemical squirtin'So be mellow, my friends, give us some respectThere's nothing to fear from a little insect"We don't want to see you die", says the tie-dye fly(Russ Ives; ©1994 Naked Earth Productions)
