"Black Honey" is a song by American rock band Thrice. The song was released on April 27, 2016 as the lead single from their ninth studio album, To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere. It was the first single the band released following their breakup in 2012 and subsequent reunion in 2015. The political track uses the imagery of a man swatting at a beehive in search of honey as a metaphor for the creation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant as a consequence of United States involvement in the Middle East, using the titular "black honey" as a euphemism for oil.[2][3] The song was a large comeback hit for the band, charting at No. 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, their highest-charting single to date and their first charting single since "Image of the Invisible" in 2005.[4]

Lyrics

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I...
I want honey on my table
I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I...
I want honey on my table

But I never get it right
No I never get it right

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stinging me
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I got what I need

I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Don't they understand I deserve the best
And I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I got what I need

I tried to stick this pin through a butterfly 'cause I...
I like all the pretty colors
But it just fell apart so I flung it in the fire
To burn with all the others

Cause I never get it right
No, I never get it right

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stinging me
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I got what I need

I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Don't they understand I deserve the best
And I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I got what I need

And this time I'll get it right
Yeah this time I'll get it right
It's gonna be this time I'll get it right
Oh God let it be this time I get it right

So I'm cutting that branch off the cherry tree
I'm singing this will be my victory then I...
I see them coming after me

And they're following me across the sea
And now they're stinging my friends and my family and I...
I don't know why this is happening

But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again till I got what I need

I keep swinging my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I...
I want honey on my table
