lyrics

Growin’ a bit of a beard, and actin’ a little bit weird
Talkin’ to myself again,
little things become my friends
But I’m thinkin’ bout waging a war against the ants
Stompin’ the floor and chasin’ bugs
Crawlin the walls and liftin’ the rugs
It’s Leiningen vs. the Ants, here we go once again

In Murray vs. the Ants
It’s just me against the world
They don’t do nothin’ to me but crawl around

Drank all the wine I bought
The food I got is starting to rot
But I’m thinkin’ bout waging a war against the ants
Stompin’ the floor and chasin’ bugs
Crawlin the walls and liftin’ the rugs
It’s Leiningen vs. the Ants, here we go once again

Behind Every Word
by Steve Lawson

supported by 4 fans who also own “Murray vs. the Ants”

These recordings transcend the bass guitar and it’s role in popular music. This music is fresh, honest, and expertly played. It’s ambient and funky, it’s soulful and progressive. It’s Steve Lawson to a tee. Headphones recommended. Gregory Harper
