ants on a log
floatin down a river
runnin around
but not gettin anywhere
powerstearin wheels
just ain't connected
and we can't jump off like flees on a dog
can't fly away like flies on a hog
we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
i got an uncle
he plays a game
can't win it
he's got a mold
tries to fit everybody else in it
when's he gonna learn he's bangin his head on the wall?
he ain't gonna change
and he looks at me strange when i tell him
we're all just ants on a log
floatin down a river
runnin around
but not gettin anywhere
powerstearin wheels
just ain't connected
and we can't jump off like flees on a dog
can't fly away like flies on a hog
we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
we all know people
we yella t the cars and the traffic
folks in a hurry
life's full of heartache and havok
i finally learned how to lay back and let life happen
i just image
the angels up in heaven
lookin down at us and laughin
at ants on a log
floatin down a river
runnin around
but not gettin anywhere
powerstearin wheels
just ain't connected
and we can't jump off like flees on a dog
can't fly away like flies on a hog
we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
and just about the time you think
you're rollin in clover
along comes a rabbit
and the world tips over
ants on a log
floatin down a river
runnin around
but not gettin anywhere
power stear wheels
just ain't connected
and we can't jump off like flees on a dog
can't fly away like flies on a hog
we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
yeah we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
