Lyrics
Why you always kicking up the sand? Always kicking up the sand God, man, you’re angry and it makes my eyes hurt Why you always kicking up the sand? Kicking up the sand You block your sister so the sunbeams miss her Why you always ragging on the man? Always ragging on the man It just makes you looking like a sad-sack actor Why you always ragging on the man Ragging on some system you think killed him, But you’re so, so backwards Why you gotta be like that? You’re never gonna bring him back Big fish, little fish Fixing in the dark If I had one wish Just a wish Throw me in the water 'Cos I wanna to be a bottom feeder Why you always hating on the cabs? Always hating on the cabs Just means the cabs are coming that less faster Why you always hating on the cabs? You shake your fist at God You ain’t even noticing that they’re all passing Why you gotta bitch about the band? Bitch about the band You know he loved 'em and they kept him laughing Why you gotta bitch about the band? Bitch bout the band You ain't even listening and man and they’re not asking Why you gotta be like that? You’re never gonna bring him back Big fish, little fish Shooting in the dark If I had one wish Just a wish Throw me in the water 'Cos I wanna to be a bottom feeder Wanna be a bottom feeder Wanna be a bottom feeder Why you always dying in the bath? Always dying in the bath Just makes me nervous that lizard king kissed you Why you always dying in the bath? Dying in the bath It’s awful quiet, and it makes me miss you Why you gotta be like that? You're never gonna bring him back Big fish, little fish Dying in the dark If I had one wish Just a wish Throw me in the water 'Cos the cabs ain’t coming Yeah the sun’s not shining Yeah the bath keeps running Yeah it keeps on raining But the band keeps playing Yeah the band keeps playing Yeah the band keeps playing Yeah the band keeps playing
