Текст песни Pearls Before Swine - Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time in a faraway land
You know I don't mean here
Well, the old men shook with fear as the water rose.

Doo bop dop ...

The fishes knew the sign that there is a tide
The children they called it change
But the old men in their chains.

What they did not know
They called it sin and so
The water rose.

Doo wah da ...

All across the land, the old men thundered
'Pile stone on stone'
'A wall's our only hope'
But the children, they only laughed.

Ha ha ha ...

The moral of this song, this made-up story
Don't build a wall of stone
You only have to learn to float.

Well I guess the fishes told
The children, 'cause they know.

Doo dah doo dah ...
