They say they wanna showboat
but can hardly stay afloat,
all drowning in the sea of the
things that they don't wanna see,
now me, ah
now me,
I'm treading water and
hanging onto plastic waste
I can taste the hormones in
the salt and the Mercury
gives me such a jolt,

32 degrees and rising
fish with fries in
got no eyes in
normal sort of day,

and they say,
you know that life is good for you,
but I know
life's a human zoo and
most of us are caged.
