Rocking the Boat

[Intro: Justin "JD" DeBlieck"]

Shark!

[Spoken Word]

"Coast Guard, this is the Orca, do you read me?

Four and a half miles due east of Amity Island

This is an official distress call, over"

[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas]

We all know the place

That appears so sublime

But if you dive a little deeper

You'll hit the real bottom line

The head of the town

Is out there flashing his teeth

A telltale sign about to surface

That there's a monster lurking underneath

[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Jeremy Schwartz & Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

They're thrashing around but found

They can't contain the leak

'Cause I've got a fish to fry

That's feeding on the weak

So, cast a line for every life they took

It's time to set the hook

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

We're all just floating in a shallow grave

Buoyed by the blood of the masses

That they'd rather sell out instead of save

We're all so starving that we've taken the bait

You think we would have learned from the past

That the predator will soon become the prey

[Verse 2: Jeremy Schwartz, Spencer Charnas]

We all know a place

Where the calm flees at night

And safe is just a shadow

So, we swim towards the light

If this voyage of valor put us on deck for death

We'll compare scars with each other

Until our very last breath, yeah!

[Pre-Chorus:  Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Jeremy Schwartz & Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

They're thrashing around but found

They can't contain the leak

'Cause I've got a fish to fry

That's feeding on the weak

Reel them in with every trick in the book

It's time to set the hook

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

We're all just floating in a shallow grave

Buoyed by the blood of the masses

That they'd rather sell out instead of save

We're all so starving that we've taken the bait

You think we would have learned from the past

That the predator will soon become the prey

[Spoken Word: Spencer Charnas]

"Coast Guard, this is the Orca again

We need you out here now

The boat is under attack

It's a great white, over"

"Roger that, ETA: fifteen minutes, over"

"In fifteen minutes, we'll be fucking shark bait!"

[Bridge: Jeremy Schwartz, Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

Last chance to make amends

So try to stay afloat

With sharks like you among us

We'll need a bigger boat

Sold us down the river

So the rich could stay rich

But now you've been caught

So smile, you son of a bitch

[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

Sinking with the burning embers

Should be any sign of doubt

That this tail will be remembered

And the tide will forever flush them out

[Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Jeremy Schwartz, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]

We're all just floating in a shallow grave

Buoyed by the blood of the masses

That they'd rather sell out instead of save

We're all so starving that we've taken the bait

You think we would have learned from the past

That the predator will soon become the prey
