[Verse 1]
Oh, baby, won't you let me in?
My mind is saying sink or swim
So much water, not a drop to drink
And my heart is saying, "Let's begin"
[Chorus]
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
[Verse 2]
Stop crying 'bout the state of things
Don't always have to be so deep
Survivors on a sinking ship
Let's stay together, not give in
Let's play together, start again, oh
[Chorus]
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
[Verse 3]
My dealеr, dealer, picks up the phonе
He says, "God, won't everybody leave me alone?"
He said, "Am I the shelter to weather your storm?" Mmm
Or am I the rhythm you jingle jangle your bones to?"
He said, "There's things I wanna do but the world ain't fair" (La, di-da, di-da)
"There's things I must do but I don't really care" (La, di-da, di-da)
"There's things I wanna do but life ain't fair" (La, di-da, di-da)
[Chorus]
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
[Outro]
Oh, baby, won't you let me in? (You either sink or swim or do nothing)
My mind is saying sink or swim (You either sink or swim or do nothing)
So much water not a drop to drink (You either sink or swim or do nothing)
And my heart is saying (You either sink or swim or do nothing)
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing
You either sink or swim or do nothing

Alloysious Massaquoi:
It says a similar thing to what we’re saying on ‘Geronimo’ but with more panache. The music has that feeling of a carousel, you’re jumping on and jumping off. If you watch Steve McQueen’s Small Axe [film anthology], in Lovers Rock, when they’re in the house party before the fi...
