Lyrics:

La la la la la la, la la la la yeah owo yeah

Every junkie knows the fix wonÂ't last
Strung out but the keeps on coppinÂ'
Every politician with a shady past
Hopes a love child donÂ't come knockinÂ'
Every alcoholic swears “This drinkÂ's the last”
Every broker was a genius til the market crashed
Every gambler on a streak knows that he canÂ't win
But he keeps on betting til the sky caves in

We canÂ't breath under water
And we donÂ't know how to swim
But we keep on rocking the boat
Until we fall in

La la la la la la

Every stand-up comic has a serious night
Every streetwalkerÂ's somebodyÂ's daughter
Every soldier in the warÂ's got God on his side
And thatÂ's why we canÂ't stop the slaughter
Every magazine cover has been retouched
Every generation swears “It wonÂ't happen to us”
But it can & it will & we do & it does
You wanna know why? ItÂ's because

We canÂ't breath under water
And we donÂ't know how to swim
But we keep on rocking the boat
Until we fall in
Until we fall in

Yeah yeah

We should quit while weÂ're ahead, instead
We wait to get knocked around
Cause you never need the lifeboat
Til the ship is going down
Well, look around

Every now and then life calls your bluff
You gotta walk the talk youÂ're talking
Everybody wishes they could just shut up
But we just keep going on and on and on and on and onÂ…

We canÂ't breathe under water
And we donÂ't know how to swim
But weÂ're crossing all our fingers, stripping down and diving in

We canÂ't breathe under water
And we donÂ't know how to swim
But we keep on rocking the boat
Until we fall in
Until we fall in

La la la la la la, la la la la yeah

Careful what youÂ're wishing for, you just might get it
Live today ‘cause if you donÂ't you might live to regret it
ThatÂ's all IÂ'm saying
