Intro: Angry, angry song from the viewpoint of a bug. It is also a song about oppression.

Whenever I'm around you try to break my neck
It almost seems like my presence warrants my death
Never done nothing to you, I am innocent
And if you didn't squash me you think I'm "in your debt".
I have never met you, I've done you no harm
But the moment you see me you sound the fucking alarm!

I'm a cockroach, strong as can be,
I never die, I'm a survivor!
I'm a bumblebee, I'll fight back even if it kills me!
I'm the bedbug that bites you at night!

I'm just a part of this world, trying to survive
I beg you for mercy, you do not oblige
You like to play god and I'm expendable life
I hope you drown in your power till the bubbles die
You preach mercy and forgiveness then you crush my kind
Just for what we are, but we are what we are!

I'm a cockroach, strong as can be,
I never die, I'm a survivor!
I'm a bumblebee, I'll fight back even if it kills me!
I'm the bedbug that bites you at night!

I'm no harbinger of death, I am little threat
Compared to your dealings in poison and death
Hypocritical motherfuckers who "support life"
Look at the bottoms of your shoes and count your lies
Of course when you offer me only death, I will retaliate
I'll kick and I'll scream and I'll bite and I'll sting

I'm a cockroach, strong as can be,
I never die, I'm a survivor!
I'm a bumblebee, I'll fight back even if it kills me!
I'm the bedbug that bites you at night!

Peaceful passiveness has only earned us death
I wonder how you'll fucking like it when we get serious
I will not take this lying down, I will fucking fight back
Against your evil indifference till you watch where you step
The bodies are piling up and we are furious
Don't think you can escape till we get our pound of flesh!

I'm a cockroach, strong as can be,
I never die, I'm a survivor!
I'm a bumblebee, I'll fight back even if it kills me!
I'm the bedbug that bites you at night!

I'm the monster that haunts your dreams,
I know I'm scary, that's why you hunt me
I'm a tarantula, I'm gonna fucking kill you
I'm the bedbug that bites you at night.
