“This is for the Bugs” by Eric Kiefer – song lyrics

This is for the bugs, This is for the creatures on the road

This is for the roach in my abode

This is for the bugs

This is for the worms, This is for the flies and the gnats

All the creatures god has begat

This is for the bugs

I’m sorry ‘bout my hand, I’m sorry that it struck you down

I’m sorry for the soul shakedown

This is for the bugs

You never meant to harm, You only meant to play your part

A tiny piece of anti-art

This is for the bugs

But we’ve all got to go… We’ve all got to go…

This is for the pests, Left without an epitaph

I play these chords on your behalf

This is for the bugs

This is for the winged ones crawling ‘cause they’re crippled with despair

And the cold rain falling as it washes down the stairs

And it sweeps away the bodies and in short time no one cares about the bugs…

This is for the bugs, This is for the creatures on the ground

This is for the lost and the found

This is for the bugs

This is for us all, This is for the human race

Tiny as a bug from space

This is for the bugs

But we’ve all got to go… We’ve all got to go…
