treading water
lungs bursting to scream
should we keep our mouth shut
By
David Kavanagh
If you do not rock the boat,
You may end up on the rocks.
If you do not rock the boat,
You may be in for a shock,
If you do not rock the boat,
You may have to hide behind some rocks.
If you do not rock the boat,
You will need a new lock.
If you do not rock the boat,
Someone may think it needs to be sunk with rocks.
If you do not rock the boat,
You may have no wages to dock.
If you do not rock the boat,
You will be ordering scotch on the rocks.
If you do not rock the boat,
You may end up in the middle of a ruck.
If you do not rock the boat,
Time may bury you under a pile of rocks.
why waste time
we have wet mind
tho we're both
old goat
come on lets get it on
LET'S ROCK THE BOAT
~ ROCK THE BOAT ~
Melody: Rock-a-bye, Baby
Rock the boat, baby
about climate change
When Greenland melts
your elders you'll blame
As shorelines erode
and port cities sink
They'll shame Greta Thunberg
and call her a fink
No rocking the boat, it don't do no good
Things won't get better in all likelihood
Just go with the flow
No need for blows
Things will always go on as they should
let let it out
in our love rout
stop being like
old goats
come
BABY LETS ROCK THE BOAT
