Gnats

(Verse 1)

You open up the fridge for a healthy little snack,

You grab a yellow banana from the middle of the pack.

But the second that you peel it, a battalion takes flight,

A million tiny pilots rising up into the light.

They’re smaller than a freckle, they’re lighter than a breeze,

But they’ve taken total control of the kitchen, if you please.

​(Chorus)

Oh, the gnats are back, and they’re staging a coup!

They’re hovering in a cloud over everything you do.

You clap your hands together trying to take them out,

But you miss every time while they wander about!

​(Verse 2)

You try to watch a movie on your laptop in the dark,

And your glowing computer screen becomes a theme park.

They're doing loop-de-loops right in front of your eyes,

The world's most annoying, microscopic surprise.

You blink and you squint, trying to read the text,

While a gnat sets up camp on your eyebrow next.

​(Chorus)

Oh, the gnats are back, and they’re staging a coup!

They’re hovering in a cloud over everything you do.

You clap your hands together trying to take them out,

But you miss every time while they wander about!

​(Verse 3)

You set a little trap with some apple cider vinegar,

Hoping that the body count will soon be getting thinner.

You put a drop of dish soap to sink 'em in the cup,

But they just sit on the rim and tell you to "chug up!"

They’ll outlive the dinosaurs, they’ll outlive the trees,

We’re all just living in a world run by these!

​(Chorus)

Oh, the gnats are back, and they’re staging a coup!

They’re hovering in a cloud over everything you do.

You clap your hands together trying to take them out,

But you miss every time while they wander about!
