[Verse 1]
Was swimming wild and free
Now I swim in shit and pee
I wasn’t as pretty as them so I was thrown away
The tank wasn’t nice but oh well
Still better than this hell
Wish I’d never been taken away from home
[Pre-Chorus]
And the ultimate contradiction keeps going on
You spend thousands on me yet you still complain about
This “survival of the fittest” crap
Just fight without your damn gun, man
You don’t look real tough with your scary canines now
[Chorus]
This ain’t about you or me
This is about sushi
This ain’t about love or hate
This is about handling things the right way
[Verse 2]
Love me, but kill my brother
Abandon me, but keep my mother
Locked up in a tank and you don’t bother
About the feelings of your cuisine
Pet me, but eat my sister
Catch me, or wear me as leather
Make the connection, look into my eyes
Don’t be fooled by all the lies
[Pre-Chorus]
And the ultimate contradiction keeps going on
You’d die for me yet you would keep yourself warm
In the skin of my siblings
Don’t you get that we’re all earthlings?
And neither of us will survive if we continue this fight
[Chorus]
This ain’t about you or me
This is about sushi
This ain’t about love or hate
This is about handling things the right way
This ain’t about what you want
This body ain’t yours, go fuck off
This ain’t about fins or tails
This is about hearts and brains
[Outro]
Darling, this ain’t about you or me
This is about sushi
This ain’t about love or hate
This is about handling things the right way
This ain’t about what you want
This body just ain’t yours, get your own
This ain’t about fins or tails
This is about hearts and brains
