This is the first song from Pedro the Lion’s first album, It’s Hard to Find a Friend. The song is about a man who dodges a draft into the U.S. Armed Forces. It could also possibly be an oblique reference to George W. Bush, who would have been about to campaign for president around the time when this...
[Verse 1]
Sunken ships rest
Upon the ocean floor
Where I've made my home
To dodge the draft once more
[Verse 2]
There once was a time
One could flee to the north
But Canada's not what she used to be
Boycott the war, well she could not afford to
Thanks to the new American queen
[Chorus]
Swim with me and we'll escape
All the trouble of the present age
Finally free
[Verse 3]
The mermaids teach us
How to breath beneath
The line that now divides
Action from apathy
[Chorus]
Swim with me and we'll escape
All the trouble of the present age
Finally free
