Lifeboats

[Intro] And it all falls down, yeah And it all falls down again And it all falls down, yeah And it all falls down [Verse 1] How can you learn how to swim before you get in? Sometimes you got to take the plunge just to get in Life's not full of shallow ends, your house ain't full of armbands Stay afloat, someone might put their arm out to help you I don't know, I would If I saw somebody drowning in a sea of self-confusion I wanna be the one to try and understand why their tide ain't coming in And their lighthouse ain't shining, mmm [Chorus] So why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat? Why do we watch them drown? We're too selfish in the lifeboats Why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat? Why do we watch them drown? [Verse 2] So why are all the richest staying afloat? Seeing all my brothers drowning even though they nicked the boat Mothership ain't helping anyone See, the ships are getting bigger, full of greedy wasteful men Soaking kids with the lies before they even got to ten Sailing the internet waves, a tsunami of wires A flood to take us under if we can't afford the life jackets Majority don't even have the life jacket Majority might fall where the tax brackets The minority might jump to the next bracket On a form to sign up for a raft and a pay packet With the same old unemployed age bracket Even money sinks to the bottom when it's waterlogged So nobody truly stays afloat [Chorus] So why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat? And why do we watch them drown? We're too selfish in the lifeboats Why do we all fall down If there's a reason we can stay afloat? Why do we watch them drown? [Outro] And it all falls down, yeah And it all falls down again And it all falls down, yeah And it all falls down
