Story behind the song
Once upon a time, Fanatics of Xerox lived in ivory tower overlooking lake Bhakti. On the far side of the lake, we kept an ant colony - the biggest ant colony in the world in fact, containing no less than a hundred and forty two billion ants.
For three hundred years we held them under tyrannical rule, lashing them and forcing them to do our bidding (dig little tunnels, carry leaves and such forth) executing those who refused to follow our bidding, or spoke out against us. The Worker Ants suffered triple
oppression as they were also held down by the Queen ants, and the Soldier ants, who took all their aggression out on the workers.
But this got too much for them, and enentually they snapped. They organised the biggest rebellion in the history of insects, forgetting their internal differences to lead the whole of antkind united together against their common foe - the Fanatics of Xerox.
This song chronicles that March towards the ivory
tower, as billions upon billions of ants march
defiantly towards their own freedom. The ivory tower was destroyed, and now we were forced to live on the bed of lake Bhakti, like the Crustaceans we are, while the Worker Ants rule the overworld.
