Primus - John The Fisherman lyrics

When he was young you'd not find him doing well in school,<br>His mind would turn unto the waters.<br>Always the focus of adolescent ridicule,<br>He has no time for farmer's daughters.<br>Alienated from the clique society,<br>A lonely boy finds peace in fishing.<br>His mother says john this is not the way life's supposed to be.<br>Don't you see the life that you are missing? <br>And he says...<br>When I grow up I want to be,<br>One of the harvesters of the sea.<br>I think before my days are done,<br>I want to be a fisherman.<br><br>Now years gone by we find man that rules the sea.<br>He sets out on a dark may morning .<br>To bring his catch back to this small community.<br>He doesn't see the danger dawning.<br>Four hours up, oh the ocean swelled and swelled,<br>The fog rolled in it started raining.<br>The starboard bow. oh my God we're going down!<br>The do not hear his frantic mayday.<br>And he says<br>When I grow up I want to be,<br>One of the harvesters of the sea.<br>I think before my days are done,<br>I want to be a fisherman.<br>I'll live and die a fisherman.<br>Calling john the fisherman.
