If the world's a rotten place
|
You better just forget it
|
In the crowd just another face
|
Gonna make 'em regret it
|
|
Take a heart and squash it hard
|
Like a little grape
|
Push it down 'tween boot and ground
|
'Til it loses shape
|
|
And if you feel like you can't swim
|
When you're thrown in the lake
|
Just watch the boats
|
Passin' by you as you
|
Slip under their wake
|
Again
|
|
If you let your feelings shine
|
You better cover 'em up, kid
|
Ain't no sense in wastin' time
|
Dream behind your eyelids
|
|
Take a heart and squash it hard
|
Like a little bug
|
Swig it down and spit it out
|
And kick it under the rug
|
|
And if you feel like you can't swim
|
When you're thrown in the lake
|
Just watch the boats
|
Passin' by you as you
|
Slip under their wake
|
Again
|
|
Take a heart and squash it hard
|
Like a little ant
|
Scrape it off the sole of your shoe
|
On the welcome mat
|
|
And if you feel like you can't swim
|
When you're thrown in the lake
|
Just watch the boats
|
Passin' by you as you
|
Slip under their wake
|
Again
|
|
Ooh
|
Ooh
|
