lifeboats (freestyle)

and it all falls down again
how can you learn how to swim before you get in?
sometimes you got to take a plunge just to get in
life's not full of shallow ends
your house ain't full of armbands
someone might put their arm out to help you
if i saw somebody drowning in a sea of self confusion
i wanna be the one to try and understand why their tide ain't comin' in
and their lighthouse ain't shining
so why do we all fall down
if there's a reason we can stay afloat?
why do we watch them drown?
we're too selfish in the lifeboats
if there's a reason we can stay afloat?
why do we watch them drown?
so why are all the richest staying afloat?
seein' all my brothers drowning even though they nicked the boat
mothership ain't helping anyone
the ships are getting bigger
full of greedy wasteful men
soaking kids with the lies before they even got to ten?
sailing the internet waves
a flood to take us under if we can't afford the life jackets
majority don't even have the life jacket
majority might fall where the tax brackets
the minority might jump to the next bracket
on a form to sign up for a raft and a pay packet
with the same old unemployed age bracket
even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged
so nobody truly stays afloat
so why do we all fall down
if there's a reason we can stay afloat?
and why do we watch them drown?
we're too selfish in the lifeboats
if there's a reason we can stay afloat?
why do we watch them drown yeah?
and it all falls down again
