it’s a drowning pool, it’s a drowning pool
this game is cruel and phoney
don’t you ever trust, don’t think you must
the cretin and his cronies
he can press the flesh and you’d never guess
that he likes to spend your money
but his biggest crime is wasting all your time
the very thing you should not hurry
chorus:
it’s a drowning pool, it’s a drowning pool
it can pull you deep down under
it’s a drowning pool, it’s a drowning pool
don’t let it steal your thunder
he becomes a ghost when you need him most
all you get is the secretary
he’s playing golf today or on a holiday
wonder how he feeds that belly
he looked me in the eye, looked me in the eye
gave me all those lies and stories
he’s a one to watch, you’re a one to watch
maybe I should issue a warning
they’ll pull you out alive, pull you out alive
finally you’ll feel the pressure
i won’t kiss the air or a derriere
but I’ll kick your ass with pleasure
