Anthill
Let the anthill know
Here comes the anteater
To start the conversation, they're loaded and in no rush
People break their teeth but won't let go of the sugar cane
People suckle and get ready, get addicted and get used to it
And nowadays it's hard to put an end to this business
Let the anthill know
Here comes the anteater
Drumming and jingling, so many boxes with beats
To clog our ears, to drown out our moans
When the drumming stops, another trick appears
Another miracle appears the way we know
Let the anthill know
Here comes the anteater
So many holes, so many leaks can't be covered with a screen
You can't hide the devil by leaving out the tail
And for the man, it's not easy to find so many disguises
To find so many patches when everyone's watching
Let the anthill know
Here comes the anteater
