Look at this big eyed fish,
Swimming in the sea,
Oh it dreams to be a bird,
Swooping, diving through the breeze
One day, he caught a big old wave,
Up onto the beach,
And 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
Oh, god,
But under the weight of life,
Things seem so much better on the other side
See this crazy man,
Decided not to breathe
It Turned red, blue, then 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
But, oh god,
Under the weight of life,
Things seem so much better on the other side
No way, no way, no way out of here
See the little monkey
Sitting in his monkey tree
One day, decided to climb down,
And run off to the city
Look at him now, lost and tired
And living on 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,
But under the weight of life,
Things seem so much better on the other side
No way no wayno wayout of here
(Chorus)
