lyrics
There are few places you can hide
Yet so many you can go
The truth’s surrounded by the lies
Which is what you’ll never know
Here’s the latest
Here’s the greatest
This is what you need to see
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
Cute kitten
We’re just swimmin’
War’s brimmin’
Just swimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
God willin’
We’re just swimmin’
Rock skimmin’
Just swimmin’
Waiting for the feed
We’re just swimmin’
All winnin’
Just swimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
Hot chicken
We’re just swimmin’
No kiddin’
Just swimmin’
Waiting for the feed
Are you predator or prey
It’s all in how your lookin’
We’re all out there every day
Just checkin’ what is cookin’
Did you know that
It’s a sure fact
All this truth can’t be for real
Can’t be for real
Let’s be for real
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
Hair thinnin’
We’re just swimmin’
Gone fishin’
Just swimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
More killin’
We’re just swimmin’
All sinnin’
Just swimmin’
Waiting for the feed
We’re just swimmin’
Paint drippin’
Just swimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
Wheels spinnin’
We’re just swimmin’
New villain
Just swimmin’
Waiting for the feed
Did you see what they wore today
Here are ten reasons that you need to pray
Do we really need this every day
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
It’s slimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
What innin’
Just swimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
Good livin’
We’re just swimmin’
Junk spillin’
Just swimmin’
Waiting for the feed
We’re just swimmin’
Dog grinnin’
Just swimmin’
We’re just swimmin’
Just swimmin’
Lost mitten
We’re just swimmin’
Keep givin’
Just swimmin’
Waiting for the feed
Waiting for the feed
Waiting for the feed
