about

lyrics

School was in a swamp
Near to where our place was
Waking up on the bus
to pledge allegiance
Sounding the horn
Its on, your born
You could terrorize a child
to keep him safe from
strong jaws, living logs
Could easily be downed where you wade
Its humid here, nothing is clear
except that I'm surrounded by snakes

Graduate to the jungle
near where the swamp was
Lightning bug and airplanes
came there to taunt us
Mosquito bites, the lizards lie
You could visualize so many ends
I didn't try
Head down, brown out
Could easily by downed when you work
Snake skin molted
and now I'm just surrounded by jerks

Its the same in the sand
no matter how you plan
They will stick you if you fight
they will sting
Its the same on the rock
cuz that's where sun is hot
boiling blood in snaky veins

ah ah ah ah...
