the fish always rots from the head - george mann lyrics

it’s another day with the fishing rod, another day on the dock so hot
but the water’s running cold
the have been fished up here, the smart ones long ago disappeared
none of these straits are paved with gold
my grandpa he’s a working man, he still provides whenever he can
but today he just explodes

it’s the same old story we’ve all been told
the rich get richer and we just get old
it’s the same old lesson wе’ve never lеarned
don’t play with fire and you won’t get burned
but we’ll outlast them in this fight
for they can’t stand too long out in the light

because the fish always rots from the head
yeah, the fish always rots from the head
and when the head smells as bad as that one does
you can tell that fish is dead
yeah the fish always rots from the head

second shift on the assembly line, they work you hard but that’s just fine
there’s no time left to care
you’ve got no union and no voice here, they laid three hundred off last year
they say you’re lucky to be working there

it’s the same old story we’ve all been told
the rich get richer and we just get old
it’s the same old lesson we’ve never learned
don’t play with fire and you won’t get burned
but we’ll outlast them in this fight
for they can’t stand too long out in the light
because the fish always rots from the head
yeah, the fish always rots from the head
and when the head smells as bad as that one does
you can tell that fish is dead
because the fish always rots form the head
yeah, the fish always rots from the head
