Don't bother finding sleep
It's for the rich, and just a shortcut to death
When it's sink or swim, you'd better tread water
Before you know which way to head to shore

Time's wasting
Overtaken
Don't let me drown
I've been through enough to know by now that
Life is sink or swim

Don't wanna count no sheep
They bring a smell, and make a whole lot of noise
Between the ups and downs and ins and outs
Somewhere along I fell into a well

Time's wasting
Overtaken
Don't let me drown
I've been through enough to know by now that
Life is sink or swim

You'd better find some sleep if you wanna be rich
Before you catch up to death
And now it's sink or swim, so just tread water
You'd better hope and pray you find the shore

Time's wasting
Overtaken
Don't let me drown
I've been through enough to know by now that
Life is sink or swim
