This self-titled song on the band’s self-titled album expresses Orono’s desire to become a superorganism, a colony of creatures which work together to survive and thrive, such as bees, ants, or prawns.
[Verse 1]
When I grow up, I wanna be
A superorganism, come on give it to me
Put your mind in my brain and you'll see
Everything is better when you're everything
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't let the kids suck you up, in flux
Wait for the seed to erupt and be gone
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be a superorganism
A superorganism, a superorganism
I wanna be a superorganism
A superorganism, a superorganism
[Post-Chorus: Spoken Word]
A superorganism is a creature
Made up of many different individuals
Thanks to technological systems
You are me, and I am you
We are tied together into a single processing system
Together we are an amazing superor—
[Verse 2]
When I grow up, I need to be
A superorganism, come on give it to me
Are you aware? Are you alone with the taste
Of architectures forming from my acid waste?
[Pre-Chorus]
It wasn't right for you to refuse
It's okay now you're part of the only thing alive
[Chorus]
Everybody needs to be a superorganism
A superorganism, a superorganism
I wanna be a superorganism
A superorganism, a superorganism
I gotta be a superorganism
A superorganism, a superorganism
I have to be a superorganism
A superorganism, a superorganism
[Outro]
When I grow up, I wanna be
A superorganism, come on give it to me
