Ice Nine Kills – Rocking The Boat lyrics
[Intro]
SHARK!

[Sound Bit]
Coast guard this is the Orca do you read me? Four and a half miles, two east of Amity Island. This is an official distress call, over

[Verse 1]
We all know a 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]
They're thrashing around but found
They can't contain a 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]
We're all just floating in a shallow grave
Buoyed by the blood of the masses
That they'd rather sell out that instead of save
We're all so starving that we've taken the bait
You think we would've learned from the past that
The predator will soon become the prey

[Verse 2]
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]
They're thrashing around but found
They can't contain a leak
Cause I've got a fish to fry
That's feeding on the weak
So reel it in with every trick in the book
It's time to set the hook

[Chorus]
We're all just floating in a shallow grave
Buoyed by the blood of the masses
That they'd rather sell out that instead of safe
We're all so starving that we've taken the bait
You think we would've learned from the past that
The predator will soon become the prey

[Sound Bit]
Yeah, coastguard 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 bate

[Bridge]
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]
Sinking with the burning embers
Should be any sign of doubt
That this tale will be remembered
And the tide will forever flush them out

[Chorus]
We're all just floating in a shallow grave
Buoyed by the blood of the masses
That they'd rather sell out that instead of safe
We're all so starving that we've taken the bait
You think we would've learned from the past that
The predator will soon become the prey
