Bad Breeding - Clear Blue Water

Conceit and vanity colour the pool
I'm floating free of grim spectacle
You know it's so easy, free to decide
Reap the spoils of opportunity, come inside
What's yours is mine, mine is mine
But own your own misfortune, I'll step aside
and come back circling when the time is right
Swimming in the clear blue water

It started with a shake down, one-up sport
Now I do my work with faux cross in hand
spend my nights laughing at the blighted flats
Shine em up and flip em around
A quarry blessed by blinkered fools,
our prize the labour of provincial scum
from stove, to mattress, to grave
Swimming in the clear blue water

I am the greatest opportunist
ploughing the deepest of your scars
Profit cleans the conscience
ploughing the deepest of your scars
All facile, all surface
Encouraged and celebrated
Swimming in the clear blue water
