They laughed and made fun
They played and gamed the days away
I know what I'll have when the good days are done
We show the way, hoping them to sway
The story of the grasshopper and the ant
We want to make them see but we can't.
Times are changing, as they often do
But they think they will stay the same
They think someone else will pay the bill when it's due
They already someone else to blame
The story of the grasshopper and the ant
We want to make them see but we can't.
We study and save, we plant and grow
Do without for a better time
We harvest what we sow
As if being wasteful was a crime
The story of the grasshopper and the ant
We want to make them see but we can't.
The Grasshopper play their lives away
They don't see it when times will be harder
The ant carries on if it's a good or bad day
The ant is calm because of what's in it's larder
