The old guard throwing the young in the deep end and expecting them to swim.

lyrics

Deep End (Swimming Or Sinking)

Over my head
Holding my breath
Everybody knows
I’m out of my depth
Can’t tell which way is up or down
Right or wrong it’s not my call
You rise above or take a fall
I’m not so sure that I won’t drown
Just pay attention
Do what you’re told
Someday they’ll let you in their fold

Once they throw you in
You’re either swimming or you’re sinking
And when they pull the plug
You’ll ask yourself, “what were you thinking?”

I’ve gone too far
I can’t go back
Got to hold the line
‘Cause I’m under attack
Another lemming at the brink
Bend the truth until it breaks
Move the needle
Whatever it takes
Moral compass on the blink
Was it worth it?
A pawn in their game
They’ve got a patsy they can blame

Once they throw you in
You’re either swimming or you’re sinking
And when they pull the plug
You’ll ask yourself, “what were you thinking?”

You thought that life was fair
As long as you walked the walk
But now you’re living scared
Innocence on the block
No one will ever care
If you’re in the deep end with sharks

Once they throw you in
You’re either swimming or you’re sinking
And when they pull the plug
You’ll ask yourself, “what were you thinking?”
Once they throw you in...
