Dead Fish (Don’t Swim Home) Lyrics by New Musik

From A to B

1980

Some things in life I see
I don't understand
Sometimes I miss the point
To things that they've planned
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
When things don't go as well
As they would have planned
The big fish lose control
Big fish on the land
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
I know dead fish don't swim home
When things go wrong
The big fish sound the alarm
Potential dangers lead
To potential calm
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
They play their games with toys
They welcome a war
When will the big fish learn
Just what life is for
I know dead fish don't swim home
When the seas get left alone
I know dead fish don't swim home
