about

"Learn to swim."

lyrics

They rock-a-by their babies
Then tell us don't rock the boat
They stab holes in our life jackets
Then expect us to float
They tell us to speak up now
Then you tell us we're too loud
We're allowed to have our feelings
Just don't let them out

Don't rock the boat.....

They tell us we're too happy to know what real life is
Too green and naive to know what's the buis
But when we get jaded they say put a smile upon your face
“No smile on a girl like you is such a sad, sad waste”

Don’t rock the boat...

They charged us a fortune for books we read and essays we wrote
Then scoff at us when we have no job and bunch of loans
This is a product of the world they created years ago
And when we're complaining that we're broke they just turn up nose

Don’t rock the boat...

There's irony in this world it's like my brother said
Life's a joke - and it's up to us to find the punchlines
So I'll punch out these lines till my words are heard
The state of this world is getting more and more absurd

Don’t rock the boat...

We're taught to shame our bodies at the youngest age
Then just a few years later, we're told to put them on display
If you hide your body they're scared you'll start a war
And if you show some skin, god forbid you're a whore

Don’t rock the boat...

So I guess my generation is corrupt in every way
But it's the only one I've got so I guess I'll have to play
and no matter the steps we take, they still call it a big mistake
so as long as the choice is mine, it's a risk I'm willing to take

Don’t rock the boat...
