Verse 1:
Once upon a time, in a hive so grand
The bees hoarded honey, it was in demand
But in their quest for riches, they forgot
The welfare of their hive, it wasn’t a thought

Chorus:
The Fable of the Bees, it did foresee
The perils of a system built on greed
A warning to all, to heed with care
Lest we forget, and fall into despair

Verse 2: The bees grew prosperous, but at what cost
The drones and workers, toiled and lost
The merchants, they thrived, selling their wares
But the common good, it wasn’t theirs

Chorus:
The Fable of the Bees, it did foresee
The perils of a system built on greed
A warning to all, to heed with care
Lest we forget, and fall into despair

Verse 3:
The hive grew weak, as the bees grew sick
Their obsession with wealth, it made them thick
A system built on greed, it cannot renew
And so the hive collapsed, it was overdue

Chorus:
The Fable of the Bees, it did foresee
The perils of a system built on greed
A warning to all, to heed with care
Lest we forget, and fall into despair

Verse 4:
But from the ruins, a new world was born
Where equality and justice were reborn
The lessons of the past, they were not lost
A brighter future, at what a cost

Chorus:
The Fable of the Bees, it did foresee
The perils of a system built on greed
A warning to all, to heed with care
Lest we forget, and fall into despair
