Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from thisBullshit three ring circus sideshow of
FreaksHere in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time. Any fucking day
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona BayFret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your Prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your carIt's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
FreaksHere in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time. Any fucking day
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona BaySome say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshitsAnd some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from thisStupid shit, silly shit, stupid shitOne great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupiedLearn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swimMom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to beLearn to swimFuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones
Fuck all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabesLearn to swimFuck retro anything
Fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memoryLearn to swimFuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actressesLearn to swim'Cause I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
Mom please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all awayTime to bring it down again
Don't just call me pessimist
Try and read between the linesI can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friendI wanna see it come down,
Burn it down
Suck it down
Flush it down
