Rocking the Boat (feat. Jeremy Schwartz)

Shark!
"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"

We all know a 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

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

We're all just floating in a shallow grave
(Buoyed by the blood of the masses)
They'd rather sell out that instead of save
We're all so starving that we've taken the bait
(You think we would've learned from the past)
That the predator will soon become the prey

We all know a place where the calm flees at night (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, yeah!)

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

We're all just floating in a shallow grave
(Buoyed by the blood of the masses)
They'd rather sell out that instead of save
We're all so starving that we've taken the bait
(You think we would've learned from the past)
That the predator will soon become the prey

"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, 15 minutes, over
In 15 minutes, we'll be fucking shark bait"

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)

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

We're all just floating in a shallow grave
(Buoyed by the blood of the masses)
They'd rather sell out that instead of save
We're all so starving that we've taken the bait
(You think we would've learned from the past)
That the predator will soon become the prey
