Protected Left - Wet Fish Lyrics

It's harder and harder to make your decision
Between what you want and between what you're missing
And now you're stranded, treading water in a haze
As Hetfield drifts on numbered days

For most it's no problem, they've made their decision
Partition their days and cordon off their weekends
A lifestyle calculated, mature and invested
You'd rather be happy, but you'll settle instead

I can't get over it
I can't get over it
Most fuckin' fish don't know they're wet

Head over heels now it comes without warning
Your post 20's life with routine so comforting
Sterile, safe and secure, career that's on the move
A passion so neutered Bob Barker approves

I can't get over it
I can't get over it
Most fuckin' fish don't know they're wet
