Never Underestimate an Idiot with Friends

Lyrics

[Introduction] [Verse 1] They showed up carrying headlines They never bothered reading Built a whole belief system Out of vibes and wishful thinking One ant said the sky was green Another swore it blue A thousand more started arguing About which lie was true Every one convinced they’re free While walking single-file Following the pheromones For miles and miles and miles [Pre-Chorus] They don’t ask why They don’t ask when They just find a bigger ant And do what it says again They don’t need proof They don’t need facts Just a slogan on a yard sign And a leader to attract [Chorus] You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Marching with their certainty Confidently getting everything wrong At industrial density You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Weaponized confidence Mistaking volume for intelligence And outrage for competence They’re everywhere you look And they always have an answer Never underestimate an idiot with friends They spread faster than cancer Whoa-oh-oh IgnorANTS Whoa-oh-oh IgnorANTS [Verse 2] Ten thousand build a colony Around a proven lie Then call themselves independent thinkers As they fall in line One ant posts a conspiracy A hundred hit “Amen” A thousand more start selling merch And preaching it again They’ll strip the leaves They’ll eat the crops Then blame the garden For everything that stops [Pre-Chorus] They don’t want truth They want a chant That’s how a bad idea becomes A million little ants [Chorus] You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Sharing memes instead of thought Treating every loud opinion Like a battle that they fought You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Building hills from grievances Calling every question treason Calling every fact a weakness They’re everywhere you look And they always have an answer Never underestimate an idiot with friends Or a bad idea with marketing [Bridge] A lie can travel six feet Before the truth gets pants And by then it’s got an army Of devoted ignorANTS That’s how a whisper becomes a movement That’s how a movement becomes a brand That’s how a brand becomes a banner Waved by people who don’t understand That’s how a spark becomes a wildfire That’s how a hill becomes a king That’s how a nation wakes up wondering “How did we become this thing?” [Breakdown] They don’t think outside the box— They worship it They don’t challenge the machine— They become part of it They don’t want information— They want confirmation They don’t want solutions— They want permission [Final Chorus] You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Just because they’re small History’s full of warnings About what happens when they sprawl You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Turning every fact into a referendum Building empires out of misinformation And calling it a revolution You can’t ignore the ignorANTS Not if you give a damn Because the world’s not changed by giant monsters— It’s changed by swarms of little ants Whoa-oh-oh IgnorANTS Whoa-oh-oh IgnorANTS And every fallen empire Every fool who took a chance Started with somebody saying: “Don’t worry… They’re just ants.”
