Rocking The Boat - Ice Nine Kills, Jeremy Schwartz

We all know the place that appears so sublime

But if you dive a little deeper, you’ll hit the real bottom line

The head of the town is out there flashing his teeth

A telltale sign about to surface that there’s a monster lurking underneath

They’re thrashing around but found

They can’t contain the leak

Cause I’ve got a fish to fry

That’s feeding on the weak

So cast a line for every life they took

It’s time to set the hook

We’re all just floating in a shallow grave

Buoyed by the blood of the masses

They’d rather sell out instead of save

We’re all so starving that we’ve taken the bait

You think we would’ve learned from the past that

The predator will soon become the prey

We all know a place

Where the calm flees at night

And safe is just a shadow

So we swim towards the light

If this voyage of valor put us on deck for death

We’ll compare scars with each other

Until our very last breath, yeah!

They’re thrashing around but found

They can’t contain the leak

Cause I’ve got a fish to fry

That’s feeding on the weak

Reel it in with every trick in the book

It’s time to set the hook

We’re all just floating in a shallow grave

Buoyed by the blood of the masses

They’d rather sell out instead of save

We’re all so starving that we’ve taken the bait

You think we would’ve learned from the past that

The predator will soon become the prey

Coastguard, this is the Orca again, we need you out here now.

The boat is under

attack.

It’s a great white, over

Roger that, ETA fifteen minutes, over

In fifteen minutes we’ll be fucking shark bait

Last chance to make amends

So try to stay afloat

With sharks like you among us

We’ll need a bigger boat

Sold us down the river

So the rich could stay rich

But now you’ve been caught

So smile, you son of a bitch

Sinking with the burning embers

Should be any sign of doubt

That this tale will be remembered

And the tide will forever flush them out

We’re all just floating in a shallow grave

Buoyed by the blood of the masses

They’d rather sell out instead of save

We’re all so starving that we’ve taken the bait

You think we would’ve learned from the past that

The predator will soon become the prey
