The little worker ants
           	Never fail to fall
                          	For the old sleight of hand
The orange magician
           	Mesmerizing with the left
                          	Presenting something petty and shiny
While all the while performing
           	Atrocities, abuse and injustice
                          	With the well-greased right
They cheer and clap
           	With glee and excitement
                          	Never seeing the real world
