Rocking the Boat

Lyrics

[Intro: Justin "JD" DeBlieck"] Shark! [Spoken Word] "Coast Guard, this is the Orca, do you read me? Four and a half miles due east of Amity Island This is an official distress call, over" [Verse 1: Spencer Charnas] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Jeremy Schwartz & Justin "JD" DeBlieck] 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 [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] We're all just floating in a shallow grave Buoyed by the blood of the masses That they'd rather sell out instead of save We're all so starving that we've taken the bait You think we would have learned from the past That the predator will soon become the prey [Verse 2: Jeremy Schwartz, Spencer Charnas] 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! [Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Jeremy Schwartz & Justin "JD" DeBlieck] 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 them in with every trick in the book It's time to set the hook [Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] We're all just floating in a shallow grave Buoyed by the blood of the masses That they'd rather sell out instead of save We're all so starving that we've taken the bait You think we would have learned from the past That the predator will soon become the prey [Spoken Word: Spencer Charnas] "Coast Guard, 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!" [Bridge: Jeremy Schwartz, Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] 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 [Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck] Sinking with the burning embers Should be any sign of doubt That this tail will be remembered And the tide will forever flush them out [Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Jeremy Schwartz, Justin "JD" DeBlieck] We're all just floating in a shallow grave Buoyed by the blood of the masses That they'd rather sell out instead of save We're all so starving that we've taken the bait You think we would have learned from the past That the predator will soon become the prey
