Honey Bee Songtext
von Steve Everett

I like the life of a honey bee
Plays the whole thing out with just one sting
And if she can′t learn how to just be kind
She'll have to leave the ones she loves behind

Misunderstood at picnics
Swatted down at baseball games
Keeping flowers blooming while
You try and earn your name

You′re just flying over families
Just beyond our reach
Running for your life so you can stay
Use your wings and keep your anger put away
Cause you've learned how to live to sting another day

We put your labor in our tea
But in the spring you make us itch and sneeze
For the sweetest taste we sing your praise
But for the yellow dust we curse your name


Misunderstood at picnics
Swatted down at baseball games
Keeping flowers blooming while
You try and earn your name

You're just flying over families
Just beyond our reach
Running for your life so you can stay
Use your wings and keep your anger put away
Cause you′ve learned how to live to sting another day

And ain′t it just like people
Being at each other's throats
Focused on what′s different
When what's in common weighs the most

You′re just flying over families
Just beyond our reach
Running for your life so you can stay
Use your wings and keep your anger put away
Cause you've learned how to live to sting another day
