"Bigger Boat" lyrics

"Bigger Boat"
(feat. Randy Newman)

We're either all the way left, or all the way right
The only time we meet in the middle is to fight
The rich get richer, the rest get a little more broke
We're gonna need a bigger boat

The floods down south, the fire's out west
You turn on the news, scares you to death
Give me that hammer, someone hold my coat
Yeah, we're gonna need a bigger boat

We spilled wine all over the mapping
We keep waiting on the wind to blow
We can't agree (we can't agree)
On who should be captain (on who should be captain)
So we can't keep this thing afloat

Can't eat this, you can't eat that
Is there anything that ain't giving cancer to rats?
The safest thing in you can inhale is cigarette smoke
We're gonna need (we're gonna need)
A bigger boat (a bigger boat)

We spilled wine (we spilled wine)
All over the mapping (all over the mapping)
We keep waiting on the wind to blow (on the wind to blow)
We can't agree on who should be captain
So we can't keep this thing afloat

We're springing a leak, we're coming apart
We're on the titanic, but we think it's an arc
Sharks in the water got me thinking 'bout a movie quote
Yeah we're gonna need (we're gonna need)
A bigger boat (a bigger boat)
Ah, were gonna need a bigger boat
