Dolphin Song

I want to be a dolphin, that is what I want to be
I won’t have to work all day in that land beneath the sea
I won’t be called by creditors where everything is free
And you can have my furniture, my clothes, and my TV

I will not vote for president, I will not care who wins
Won’t have to hit a keyboard with my flippers or my fins
Won’t care what’s in my bank account, I’ll never pay a fee
When I’ve given up my arms to swim the freedom of the sea

Won’t listen to commercials, won’t be buying any junk
No storm will ever sink me, ’cause I’ll already be sunk
I’m going to join the dolphins now if I can find a way
‘Cause all I want to do in life is sing and fuck and play

I’ll learn to live on sushi, give up chocolate and caffeine
and pass up every chance to interface with a machine
Don’t try to send me e-mail, ’cause I won’t be found online
Don’t set up an appointment ’cause I sure won’t know the time

We’ve been told the hills won’t hide us, so why bother with the hills
Let’s run into the ocean and then try to grow some gills
It’s dolphins, and not humans, who live naked, wild, and free
It’s dolphins who put down their arms, so they’re the folks for me
