Only Dead Fish Follow the Stream Lyrics


My mind is filled with confusing emotions

I'll tell you why - it's because of these notions:

You tell me I can choose eexactly what I want to be

But that doesn't really sound that truthful to me

When I was young you told me how to behave

In the back of my mind - your seeds made my a slave

And later in my life you pressured me to death

To make the right decisions - the ones that fit you best

I don't want to be a fucking fish in your fucking sea

And I dont want to be a victims of authority

My mind is my own, though you power is major

That's because you steal the fruit of my labour

Being different is harder than you think

And if you see yourself as different you need to realise one thing -

Don't conform to uniforms! Be your-fucking-self

You're different in your mind - not in what you wear

But somehow, you still conform to another scheme

Then it doesn't matter how much you try, you won't fulfill your dreams

Because if you don't to be tamed and put in place

Lace up your boots and kick your rulers in their face!

I don't want to be a fucking fish in your fucking sea

And I dont want to be a victims of authority

My mind is my own, though you power is major

That's because you steal the fruit of my labour
