They tell us that we're savages 
Who haven't got a hope 
We're burning in the furnaces, 
We're choking at the smoke 
They say we haven't got a choice, 
Refuse to recognize our voice 
Yet they enjoy commissions 
From the proceeds of the joke 

Those Butterfly Boys 
At play with their toys 
Stinging like bees 
Itching like fleas 
Butterfly Boys 
You got the toys 
You got the breeze 
We caught the freeze 
Butterfly Boys give us a break 
We got the groceries you got the cake 

They tell us that we're savages 
Who cannot understand 
We're sailing on a sinking ship, 
We're swimming in the sand 
They put their fingers in their ears, 
Refuse to recognize our fears 
And fly off to Jamaica 
When we call them underhand
