Fish Bowl Blues Lyrics

You blubbed at me today, I knew something was off

Blub blub turns to rage, this bowl is no more than a cage

Traps our emotions and bottles up pain, drowns us together and fills me with hate

Not long till we belly up, not long till time is up

Next thing we're breaking up, you're such a poopy butt

You obtain us, you contain us, you confine me to your cages

I sit and I observe a world I don't preserve

Sitting amongst the others, another carnival prize

The fallout of an industry is simply built on lies

A hand reached in my direction, it caught me by surprise

I tried to swim away, my fins were paralyzed

I was gonna break the news, saw a creature

A feline shape pursues me even nearer

Look out, it's a paw, you're punctured by a claw

I thought back to old days, plastic bags took us away

You blubbed at me today, I knew something was off

Blub, blub, turns to rage, this bowl is no more than a cage

Traps our emotion and bottles up pain, drowns us together and fills me with hate

Fills me with rage, this bowl is no more than a cage

You obtain us, you contain us, you confine me to your cages

I sit and I observe a world I don't preserve

Sitting amongst the others, another carnival prize

The fallout of an industry is simply built on lies

A hand reached in my direction, it caught me by surprise

I tried to swim away, my fins were paralyzed

You know, life can get pretty lonely for a fish like me

All I've got are a few rocks and a plastic castle

In the grand scheme of things, I'm just a speck of sand in the infinite star-spangled universe

An insignificant event, or untold story

I'm glad you're here. Without you, I think I'd be quite lonely

Wouldn't you agree

I mean, I have a pink castle

But what's a king without a queen

Without a prince

Without an ally

That's a life you don't want to live

I'm a little fish, don't need no commotion

I just want to find my way back home to the ocean

I want to be free

I want to find my own sea

You obtain us, you contain us

You confine us to your cages

You obtain us, you contain us

You confine us to your cages

To your cages
