ROCK THE BoaT NOW Lyrics

We were running together, quite some time
I had your back and you had mine, tell me that it ain't so
Now that them days are gone
Tell me that it ain't so, now that we break the dawn
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now

I stand beside Mother Nature on the side of a skyscraper
Can't decide if she wanna dive or just die later
Or how about now, as she blows a cloud that be filled with gin
Fill her cup past the rim
Take a walk light a smoke from Kahnawake
It's hanging from her lips, tell her that she gotta stop
I said do it for the kids but she don't know why
They think factories make the clouds in the sky

Spring is promiscuous, summer live a highlife
Autumn can't live with it, autumn wanna hide
Watch me get fired, hit me with a pink slip
Find me a planet where people haven't been yet
Build me a crib from a throne from the Amazon
Water from the mountaintops, gold from the ocean
Down a road made of stars
Listen to the waves on my way back from Mars

Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now

Mother Nature wanna quit like her mother did, and her mother's mother did
Father says that the shoe fits
Company's policy ought to be revised
Hasn't slept for years just wanna close her eyes
View from her office, it gives on the earth
They call it a perk when she watches it hurts
I said do it for the kids but she don't know why They think factories make the clouds in the sky

Spring is promiscuous, summer live a highlife
Autumn can't live with it, autumn wanna hide
Watch me get fired, hit me with a pink slip
Find me a planet where people haven't been yet
Build me a crib from a throne from the Amazon
Water from the mountaintops, gold from the ocean
Down a road made of stars
Listen to the waves on my way back from Mars

Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now
Rock the boat, rock the boat now

Construction every morning, fix holes in the ozone
Chainsmoke the homegrown, unplug the home phone
Acid rain with the tar in your veins
Spend the day on the plains
Sitting sideways and it's getting even hotter
With the broken AC and you think about your daughter
I said do it for the kids but she don't know why
They think factories make the clouds in the sky

Spring is promiscuous, summer live a highlife
Autumn can't live with it, autumn wanna hide
Watch me get fired, hit me with a pink slip
Find me a planet where people haven't been yet
Build me a crib from a throne from the Amazon
Water from the mountaintops, gold from the ocean
Down a road made of stars
Listen to the waves on my way back from Mars

We were running together, quite some time
I had your back and you had mine, tell me that it ain't so
Now that them days are gone
Tell me that it ain't so, now that we break the dawn
