Lyrics

The less you care, the more I hold tight
The more I’m involved, the less I do right
I went to school; I didn’t stay
I spoke right up when I had nothing good to say

Now I’m jumping off that train of thought
It’s led me too far afield, a fall, a finger in my beer
Wind me up and hold me near

But did you ever find your mainland?
I suspect you did.
And are you drowning in your element?
Why did you stay there?

I stayed in the car to hear the end of your song on the radio.
I don’t know if I recall the last time something like that occurred to me

But did you ever find your mainland?
I suspect you did.
And are you drowning in your element?
Why did you stay there?

Look out: here come the intellectual creeps!
Here come the asshole college professors!
He don’t sow what he reaps
And this one’s always out looking for another investor

But did you ever find your mainland?
I suspect you did.
And are you drowning in your element?
Why did you stay there?

Drowning in your element
I’m drowning in your element
I’m drowning in your element
I’m drowning in your element
