LYRICS
\nIf your best trick’s drastic
\nIrony of a one-trick-pony
\nAin’t that funny
\nWhen it cuts ya to the quick
\nChorus:
\nAs I’m watching the fish jumping
\nHead scratching as I’m thinking
\nWhich am I… fish or fly
\nWhich will die… swallow or fry<\/p>\n

Can I only face the surface
\nOr am I willing to dive deep
\nIf we don’t outpace the human race
\nYa won’t even hear a peep
\n(chorus)
\nBold to assume both I’ll consume?
\nPlease remain king of the food chain
\nYet no matter how hard I try
\nMy know-how’s gonna die
\n(chorus)
\nNo sense to weep. No sense to cry.
\nDistraught knot?
\nDistraught not!<\/p>\n

[The fish eats the fly
\nThen both are eaten by I
\nWe’re all going to die
\nWould you rather be swallowed or fried?]<\/p>\n
