"A Bee Without Its Sting" lyrics

"A Bee Without Its Sting"

We weren't the ones supposed to get organised
We weren't the ones supposed to take up your time
If that's a shock to you
Well honey that's what we do

Down in the station, down in the grocery store
Making it happen
Working it door to door
Taking em one by one
Keeping on til it's done

A bee without its sting
You'll be when I do my thing
Hear me when I say

They say the thing with power is
Once that you feel it
You'll do just anything that you can do
To keep it well
Every minute
Every day
We'll keep trying to take it away
After all
It's all we can do

So make a promise here to show everyday
What happened when some people got in the way?
What use is a bum rush
If it's not all of us?

And if you think our hassle
Ain't here to stay
And that your moneys making this go away
Well this is never through
Till you get what you're due
Woaaah

A bee without its sting
You'll be when I do my thing
Make one but taking five
Honey look alive
Ain't found a roof these days
That I wasn't fit to raise

Oh, honey
Hear me when I say
