The water's choppy, but it doesn't cut me no   Cause I ain't sinkin, no I ain't going down below   I don't think that way, you know I never have   I can't slow down now, just because you lag   You're always pulling, keep on trying to bring me down   I'm going to show you that I don't like to fuck around   You show your face, and I'll look the other way   You blink your eyes, and you've got no friends to play      Go!   Pick up the slack   No!    I can't carry your monkey on my back   Woah   Save the world   No way!    Got no time, I've got to save myself today      I've got a mission to fulfill the things in life   I've got a lot of things to see before I live to die   All this negativity tries to bring me down    As you get worse, I turn my life around      Go!   Pick up the slack   No!    I can't carry your monkey on my back   Woah   Save the world   No way!    Got no time, I've got to save myself today   Save myself today   Save myself today      Saving the world's great   But I gotta save myself first      The water's choppy, but it doesn't cut me no   Cause I ain't sinkin, no I ain't going down below   I don't think that way, you know I never have   I can't slow down now, just because you lag      Go!   Pick up the slack   No!    I can't carry your monkey on my back   Woah   Save the world   No way!    Got no time, I've got to save myself today   Save myself today   Save myself today   Save myself today
