lyrics

Brine (Words & Music Baxter Stone & Adrian Morgan)

I get the munchies late in the night
I get up and go to the fridge
I pull out a can of tuna fish
I hold up close to my nose
One sniff and my senses explode
I drink the brine and throw away the fish

I know I’m a selfish son of a bitch
I drink the brine and throw away the fish

That poor fish would still be swimming the ocean blue
If wasn’t for people like me and you
Who like to conquer divide and rule

Some people are addicted to coke
Others got cigarettes
Because they like to smoke
Eat or be eaten isn’t that the rule

I know I’m a selfish son of a bitch
I drink the brine and throw away the fish

ah ah woe ah

I know I’m a selfish son of a bitch
I drink the brine and throw away the fish

I feel sorry for my friend the tuna fish
Gets caught and canned and made into this
And I drink the brine
And throw him away
It troubles me and it should trouble you
Our poor friend should be swimming in the ocean blue

Drink brine
Drink brine
Drink brine
Drink brine
Drink brine and I throw away the fish

Our poor friend would be still swimming around
If wasn’t for people like us
Bringing him down
Who like to conquer divide and rule
Eat or be eaten
Isn’t that the way
But I feel sorry for my friend today
Oh yeah he was a poor tuna fish
