Us Fish Must Swim Together
Album: From the Cradle to the Grave l.p.
Release Date: 1984
OK let's tart at the beginning
When fishes roamed the sea
They swam around before anything else
In ten million years b.c.
When one day they decided
To evolve into vertibrates
And a few cam out of the water
And got drunk to celebrate
Soon, well when I say 'soon', I mean
A coupla million years
They evolved into various quadrupeds
With legs and things and ears
And about a trillion aeons later
They went all civilized
And built lots of bombs and council flats
That reached into the skies
The moral of this tale, you see
We are descended from the fish
And if we progress much further
We'll put our lives at risk
We're starting to destroy ourselves
With pollution war and greed
When food and sex and water
Is all we really need
When 'sink or swim' is the choice you get
You cannot swim forever
You need suppor to keep you alive
Us fish must swim together!
