Lyrics: Fishy Swa Ska
Album: Unknown
Artist: Fishbone
 

I feel like i’m being assassinated by boredom or something
I need some excitement, some adventure, some of that…
You know that "je ne sais quoi"
I need some… some fishbone

Day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year !
Your political leaders take it the ear for a beer and say :
"hey ! as long as i’ve got my diamonds & pearls & free plane rides to europe,
Let the poor be poorer and the underprived be underpriviledge, huh !"
A dog crosses the street
A butcher cuts his meat
C’mon you rebels, dance your blues away !
The fishy swa ska, that’s what i say !

And further more…

Call me a poser, call me a fake
I’d like to pour diarhea in your vanilla milkshake !
Rude boy, rude boy ! there’s a hint you can take !
You wear your clothes and i wear mine
So don’t give me a job !
You prejudice swine
So what if i wear mismatched monkey boots
Pajama bottoms and a suit made of poison ivy ?
For 6 million days ? oh !
A bird drops a turd
A lot of cows make a herd
This mission i say will never be done
So why should i bother to move my tongue
C’mon you cats, c’mon you chicks !
Dance your blues away !

And furthermore…

See the preachers preach
But the devil deceits
So why should i let those bad guys stray me from my f-bone beliefs !
I’m the one who experiments with the bullets and the sharks !
I’m the cause for the cross-over
For the brand new start in the dark
Yeah ! radio man i’m talking to you !
And you machine beat junkies that have locked your doors
Will get diseased by the rock-n-roll whore
If i dared not to get rude and make a fuss
This groove would be minor and riding in the back of a bus
No one cares about progression
So fuck you !
Cause if you did, you’d be making a confession
That’s true !
But as the narrowminded say : "so near and far,
It’ll never happen, it’s too bizarre !"

Yeah ! but don’t you fret ?…
There will be a movement in the light yet
So c’mon you cats, c’mon you chicks !
Dance your blues away !
The fishy swa ska, that’s what i say !

And furthermore…
