Look at this big-eyed fish swimmin' in the sea Oh, how it dreams to be a bird, swoopin', divin' through the breeze So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach Now he's dead, you see Beneath the sea is where a fish should be But, oh, God Under the weight of life Things seem brighter on the other side You see this crazy man decided not to breathe He turned red and blue, purple, colorful indeed No matter how his friends begged and pleaded the man would not concede And now he's dead, you see The silly man should know you got to breathe But, oh, God Under the weight of life Things seem brighter on the other side Oh, God But under the weight of life Things seem so much better on the other side No way No way No way out of here You see the little monkey sittin' up in his monkey tree One day decided to climb down and run off to the city But look at him now, lost and tired, livin' in the street As good as dead you see Do what a monkey does, stay up your tree But, oh, God Under the weight of life Things seem brighter on the other side Oh, God Under the weight of life Things seem so much better on the other side No way No way No way No way out of here
