Lyrics

If food needed pleasing you'd suck all the seasoning off. suck it off
Well treat me like the disease, like the rats and the fleas; ah ha ha, ah ha ha
Bang your head like a gong 'cuz it's filled with all wrong; ha ha ha, clang clang clang

If you think you know enough to know you know, you know we've had enough
And if you think you don't, you probably will
Our tails wagged and then fell off
But we just turned back marched into the sea

Well treat me like the sea, oh-so salty and mean; ah ha ha, oh ha ha!
Well treat me like disease, like the rats and the fleas; ah ha ha ahhh!

I'll be beating my heart's record for speeding
I'll be beating the record for heart skipping in the dark

Our tails wagged and then fell off
Well we just turned back marched into the sea
Well we just turned round marched into the sea

Take all that you need like my sign says for free, till its gone! till it's gone!
Well discard whom you please like the leaves off a tree ah-ha-ha!
Let's shake hands if you want, but you, both hands are gone! ah ha ha, ha ha

Well treat me like the sea, oh-so salty and mean; ah ha ha
Oh treat me like the sea, oh-so salty and mean; ah ha ha
Well treat me like the leaves, like the rats and the fleas
Bang your head like a gong 'cuz you call it all wrong
Move your tongue; klank klank! klank klank! klank klank! klank klaaaaank

Cut me down like the tree, like the lumber or weed
Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath
Give me forced health till I wish death on myself ah! ha! ha!
Give me forced health till I wish death on myself ah! ha! ha!
Ah ha ha! ah ha! ah ha! ah ha! ahaaaaah!

Well we all stumbled round tangled up in the cords
From our phones, v.c.rs and our worldly woes
Ah ha ha! march on, march on, march on, march on!
Well, march on!
