  • A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
    A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
    A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family

    I feel beneath the white
    There is a redskin suffering
    From centuries of taming

    No method in our madness
    Just pride about our manner
    Antpeople are the warriors
    Antmusic is the banner!

    A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family
    A new Royal Family, a wild nobility, we are the family

    And even when you're healthy
    And your colour schemes delight
    Down below those dandy clothes
    You're just a shade too white
    Shade too white!
    Shade too white!

    I feel beneath the white
    There is a redskin suffering
    From centuries of taming...

    I feel beneath the white
    There is a redskin suffering
    From centuries of taming...
