lyrics

Here I am, drop in the ocean
I'd rather die livin' than live dead
But the time slips by like the sand between my fingers
Current dust is future us
I thought you knew that
Why do you keep on trying
To prove that I am wrong?
There's just as many views
as people in the world

I do what you want
Breadbin won't fill up by itself
I spent all my cash
Pretending that it's our aim
But on the other hand
We'd like to be somewhere else
You're like a fish with no water
Though you've got the legs
To rise and move on
But you're too lazy
I guess you'll always be like that
Just a fry or a rat

You just let your dreams vaporize. You let them go.
You're a flag in the wind. Storms toss you still.
And there's always gonna be someone trying to put you down
Current dust is future us
It's the time of your life
Why do you keep on trying
To prove that I am wrong?
There's just as many views
as people in the world

I do what you want
Breadbin won't fill up by itself
I spent all my cash
Pretending that it's our aim
But on the other hand
We'd like to be somewhere else
You're like a fish with no water
Though you've got the legs
To rise and move on
But you're too lazy
I guess you'll always be like that
Just a fry or a rat
