if the world's a rotten place
you better just forget it
in the crowd just another face
take a heart and squash it hard
push it down 'tween boot and ground
and if you feel like you can't swim
when you're thrown in the lake
if you let your feelings shine
ain't no sense in wastin' time
dream behind your eyelids
take a heart and squash it hard
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
take a heart and squash it hard
scrape it off the sole of your shoe
and if you feel like you can't swim
when you're thrown in the lake
