Learn To Swim

 

Some say the end is nearSome say we'll see Armageddon soonI certainly hope we willI sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three-ringCircus sideshow ofFreaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.The only way to fix it is to flush it all awayAny fucking time, any fucking dayLearn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay
Fret for your figure andFret for your latte andFret for your lawsuit andFret for your hairpiece andFret for your Prozac andFret for your pilot andFret for your contract andFret for your car
It's aBullshit three-ringCircus sideshow ofFreaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.The only way to fix it is to flush it all awayAny fucking time, any fucking dayLearn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay
Some say a comet will fall from the skyFollowed by meteor showers and tidal wavesFollowed by fault lines that cannot sit stillFollowed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits
And some say the end is nearSome say we'll see Armageddon soonI certainly hope we willI sure could use a vacation from thisStupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit
One great big festering neon distractionI've a suggestion to keep you all occupiedLearn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim'Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soonMom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be
Learn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swim
Fuck L. Ron Hubbard andFuck all his clonesFuck all these gun-totingHip gangster wannabes
Learn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swim
Fuck retro anythingFuck your tattoosFuck all you junkies andFuck your short memories
Learn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swim

Learn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swimLearn to swim, learn to swim
'Cause I'm praying for rainI'm praying for tidal wavesI wanna see the ground give wayI wanna watch it all go down
Mom, please flush it all awayI wanna see it go right in and downI wanna watch it go right inWatch you flush it all away

  2. Tool is one of the few I rock out to on a very regular basis. The drummer is absolutely flawless.

  3. Tool is ok, I guess. All their stuff sounds kinda the same. And Maynard apparently doesn't see the irony in calling other people "freaks".
