[Verse 1]
Fishing here with plastic bait
I only catch one dead one that’s already floating
I see the others with their expensive lines
Catching fish after fish
Inviting their friends over for dinner
[Chorus]
I don’t dare to invest
I’ll stay here by the waterside
With my cheap lines, with my cheap lie, I
Don’t dare to invest
I’ll stay here by the waterside
Yes I know how cheap it is
I’ll just wait for the stupid fish
[Verse 2]
Underwater they look at my plastic line
With disgust in their tiny eyes
I take home a little one
But I don’t know how to cook him a meal
How bad must he feel
Just laying there on the counter
And I don’t know how to fry him up
I don’t dare to invest
I’ll stay here by the waterside
With my cheap lines, with my cheap lie, I
Don’t dare to invest
I’ll stay here by the waterside
Yes I know how cheap it is
I’ll just wait for the stupid fish
Eh, ehmmm, ohh, hold up, mmm, uhm, mm, argh, argh, eh, ehhh, mmm
OK, ahhh, OK, OK, OK, OK, I need a second, I need ah, ahh, wait wait wait
I don’t dare to invest
I don’t dare to invest
Underwater they look at my plastic line
With disgust in their tiny eyes
