[Verse 1]
Look at this big-eyed fish swimming in the sea
Oh, how it dreams to be a bird, swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he's dead you see
Beneath the sea is where a fish should be
[Chorus]
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
[Verse 2]
You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue, purple, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded the man would not concede
And now he's dead you see
The silly man should know you got to breathe
[Chorus]
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
[Bridge]
No way[x2]
No way out of here
[Verse 3]
You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree
One day decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now lost and tired, living in the street
As good as dead you see
Do what a monkey does, stay up in your tree
[Chorus]
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
But, oh, God
Under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side
[Outro]
No way[x3]
No way out of here
