- Facts Of Life Lyrics / with translationsSix billion ants crawling on a plate
Six million ants crawling on a plate
None of them give back as much as they take
Six billion ants crawling on a plate
Doesn't mean you should just because you can
It doesn't mean you should just because you can
Like Abraham and Ishmael fighting over sand
It doesn't mean you should just because you can
That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life
Now some of us build and some of us teach
Some of us build, some of us teach
And some of us kill what some of us eat
That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life
Nobody knows what happens when you die
Nobody knows what happens when you die
Believe what you want, it doesn't mean you're right
That is a fact of life
That is a fact
Six million ants crawling on a plate
None of them give back as much as they take
Six billion ants crawling on a plate
Doesn't mean you should just because you can
It doesn't mean you should just because you can
Like Abraham and Ishmael fighting over sand
It doesn't mean you should just because you can
That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life
Some of us build, some of us teach
And some of us kill what some of us eat
That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life
Nobody knows what happens when you die
Nobody knows what happens when you die
Believe what you want, it doesn't mean you're right
That is a fact of life
That is a fact

When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, the piece 'Facts of Life' by King Crimson uses insect-like crawling on a plate as one of its metaphors to express the very complicated human life. The first metaphor signifies selfishness, where people take more than they contribute. It then goes on to widen the scope of human life by mentioning the good and the bad, such as building, teaching, and killing for survival, while at the same time indicating that nothing is certain about death and beliefs. The lyrics of 'Facts of Life' bring out the most of the following themes: angst, reflection, social commentary, spirituality and contemplation. It is, however, at the same time, the song that brings forth the need of existential reflection, the outcomes of actions and the plurality of functions in the society. The lyrics deal with subjects that might necessitate parental guidance, like existential queries and allusions to war, but they do not contain any explicit language, violence or adult content that would require a higher rating.
