Tie Dye Fly lyrics

Artist  : Naked Earth 
Song : Tie Dye Fly
 
Did you hear about the new bug to hit the scene
It's the funkiest bug that you've ever seen
Check out its colours, it ain't black, brown or
green
It's a rainbow insect, do you know what I mean
It comes from the tropics, it's a mellow pest
It lives amongst the poppies and ganja, the best
Fed by the paraquat we sprayed in its nest
This six-foot bug is here on a quest
Tie-dye fly, a product of chemical overload
Tie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow
like a laser show
Tie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to
toe
Instead of kicking the bucket I just continue to
grow
Said, watch me grow -- watch me
Here come the helicopters and they're gonna
discharge
I got the malathion munchies and it's making me
hard
Bring the kiddies inside and put away the car
Better seal up the house or your lungs will get
charred
I'm talking for the insect nation
We were here long before man's creation
There's nothing to gain from our extermination
Cos we're in a state of constant mutation
Tie-dye fly, a product of chemical overload
Tie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow
like a laser show
Tie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to
toe
Instead of kicking the bucket I just continue to
grow
Said, watch me grow
Tie-dye fly, after you're gone we'll still remain
Tie-day fly, listen to this simple refrain --
said, I must explain
There's one thing for certain: it's you that
you're hurtin' with your chemical
 squirtin'
So be mellow, my friends, give us some respect
There's nothing to fear from a little insect
"We don't want to see you die", says the tie-dye
fly
