Why you always kickin' up the sand
Always kickin' up the sand?
God, man, you're angry, and it makes my eyes hurt
Why you always kickin' up the sand
Kickin' up the sand?
You block your sister so the sunbeams miss her
Why you always raggin' on the man
Always raggin' on the man?
It just makes you look like a sad-sack actor
Why you always raggin' on the man?
Raggin' on some system you think killed him
But you're so so backwards
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish
Fixin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish
Throw me in the water
'Cause I wanna be a bottomfeeder
Why you always hatin' on the cabs
Always hatin' on the cabs?
Just means the cabs are coming that less faster
Why you always hatin' on the cabs?
You shake your fist at God
You ain't even noticing that they're all passin'
Why you gotta bitch about the band
Bitch about the band?
You know he loved 'em, and they kept him laughin'
Why you gotta bitch about the band
Bitch about the band?
You aren't even listening, and, man, they're not askin'
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish
Shootin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish
Throw me in the water
'Cause I wanna be a bottomfeeder
Wanna be a bottomfeeder
Why you always dyin' in the bath
Always dyin' in the bath?
Just makes me nervous that lizard king kissed you
Why you always dyin' in the bath?
Dyin' in the bath
It's awful quiet and it makes me miss you
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish
Dyin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish
Throw me in the water
'Cause the cabs ain't comin'
Yeah, the sun's not shinin'
Yeah, the bath keeps runnin'
Yeah, it keeps on rainin'
But the band keeps playing
Yeah, the band keeps playing
Yeah, the band keeps playing
Yeah, the band keeps playing
