...effects in this anti-sexist, anti-racist song about the confines of human flesh. This theme is continued in "Across This Antheap," a song which criticizes humanity's tribalism with lyrics like "Still segregating 'cause we insects are too proud" and "The stars are laughing at us as we crawl on and on across this antheap."
