Swimming In The Sewer

I wrote this one on the 7th while listening to a band called Jaya The Cat. It seems pretty self explanatory to me but who knows, maybe somebody else will get a different meaning from it.

They say that nothing in life is free

Man they got that right

Ever since I was pushed out

It’s all been struggle and strife

You can talk all you want

About the way it should be

I’m down here swimming

In the sewer with the animals….actually

They say nothing is owed in life

Man they got that right

Every time I try to make a turn

I’m plagued by a man with no sight

If I ask for a helping hand

Is anybody even gonna listen

Meanwhile I’m still swimming

In the sewer watching the animals…..actually

Just let me take a step, take a step

Before the next wave crashes down

Just let me have a little dream, little dream

Before it all comes crashing down

They said I’d never amount to nothing

Man they got that right

Learned my lessons being pushed

Never chose the nine to five

Still I can hold my head up high

I took everything that I earned

That’s why I’m a shark swimming

In the sewer with the animals…..actually
