Sink or Swim

Don't buy the bandit's trick, it's for the rich

And just a shortcut to death

When it's sink or swim, you better tread water

Before you know it's way too head to shore

Time's a-wasting

Overtaking

Don't let me drown

I've been through enough to know by now

That life is sink or swim

Don't want a captive sheep, they bring a smell

And make a whole lot of noise

Between the ups and downs and ins and outs

Somewhere along I fell into a well

Time's a-wasting

Overtaking

Don't let me drown

I've been through enough to know by now

That life is sink or swim

You'd better find some sleep if you want to be rich

Before you catch up to death

And now it's sink or swim, so just tread water

You'd better hope and pray you find the shore

Time's a-wasting

Overtaking

Don't let me drown

I've been through enough to know by now

I've been through enough to know by now

That life is sink or swim
