Swim Lyrics by Fishbone

Give a Monkey a Brain and He’ll Swear He’s the Center of the Universe

1993

[Intro]
Attention! The pool is now open!
Oh yeah! (x5)

[Verse 1]
Coming up from the sound
It's got you swimming around
Metal's crushing your bones
As you hit the ground
No blood no foul
Back into the pool
"No diving from here"
Fuck that rule!

[Chorus]
C'mon, c'mon
I like to swim
I like to swim into the mosh
Kicking and struggling so I don't get squashed

[Verse 2]
Up the side and straight down the middle
Jam with link and Walt (Just a little)
Then I'm back in the mix
Brain Dead Goliath trying to grab my leg
I break the tackle like Bo (Bo!)
Head for the heads
And then I head for the heads

[Chorus]
I like to swim into the mosh
Kicking and struggling so I don't get squashed
I like to swim into the mosh
Kicking and struggling so I don't get squashed
I like to swim, swim, swim...

[Outtro]
The pool is now open!
The pool! The pool! The pool!
The pool is now open!
