La la la la la la, la la la la yeah owo yeah      Every junkie knows the fix won’t last   Strung out but the keeps on coppin’   Every politician with a shady past   Hopes a love child don’t come knockin’   Every alcoholic swears “This drink’s the last”   Every broker was a genius til the market crashed   Every gambler on a streak knows that he can’t win   But he keeps on betting til the sky caves in      We can’t breath under water   And we don’t know how to swim   But we keep on rocking the boat   Until we fall in      La la la la la la      Every stand-up comic has a serious night   Every streetwalker’s somebody’s daughter   Every soldier in the war’s got God on his side   And that’s why we can’t stop the slaughter   Every magazine cover has been retouched   Every generation swears “It won’t happen to us”   But it can & it will & we do & it does   You wanna know why? It’s because      We can’t breath under water   And we don’t know how to swim   But we keep on rocking the boat   Until we fall in   Until we fall in      Yeah yeah      We should quit while we’re ahead, instead   We wait to get knocked around   Cause you never need the lifeboat   Til the ship is going down   Well, look around      Every now and then life calls your bluff   You gotta walk the talk you’re talking   Everybody wishes they could just shut up   But we just keep going on and on and on and on and on…      We can’t breathe under water    And we don’t know how to swim   But we’re crossing all our fingers, stripping down and diving in      We can’t breathe under water    And we don’t know how to swim   But we keep on rocking the boat   Until we fall in   Until we fall in      La la la la la la, la la la la yeah      Careful what you’re wishing for, you just might get it    Live today ‘cause if you don’t you might live to regret it   That’s all I’m saying
