Fishbone - Fishy Swa Ska lyrics
I feel like I'm being assassinated by boredom or something
I need some excitementsome adventuresome of that...
You know that "je ne sais quoi"
I need some... some fishbone
Day after dayweek after weekmonth after month and year after year !
Your political leaders take it the ear for a beer and say :
"hey ! as long as I've got my diamonds & pearls & free plane rides to europe
Let the poor be poorer and the underprived be underpriviledgehuh !"
A dog crosses the street
A butcher cuts his meat
C'mon you rebelsdance your blues away !
The fishy swa skathat's what I say !
And further more...
Call me a posercall me a fake
I'd like to pour diarhea in your vanilla milkshake !
Rude boyrude boy ! there's a hint you can take !
You wear your clothes and I wear mine
So don't give me a job !
You prejudice swine
So what if I wear mismatched monkey boots
Pajama bottoms and a suit made of poison ivy ?
For 6 million days ? oh !
A bird drops a turd
A lot of cows make a herd
This mission I say will never be done
So why should I bother to move my tongue
C'mon you catsc'mon you chicks !
Dance your blues away !
And furthermore...
See the preachers preach
But the devil deceits
So why should I let those bad guys stray me from my f-bone beliefs !
I'm the one who experiments with the bullets and the sharks !
I'm the cause for the cross-over
For the brand new start in the dark
Yeah ! radio man I'm talking to you !
And you machine beat junkies that have locked your doors
Will get diseased by the rock-n-roll whore
If I dared not to get rude and make a fuss
This groove would be minor and riding in the back of a bus
No one cares about progression
So fuck you !
Cause if you didyou'd be making a confession
That's true !
But as the narrowminded say : "so near and far
It'll never happenit's too bizarre !"
Yeah ! but don't you fret ? ...
There will be a movement in the light yet
So c'mon you catsc'mon you chicks !
Dance your blues away !
The fishy swa skathat's what I say !
And furthermore...
