Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
[Verse 2]
Don't matter to kiss and put back
Poor fishies should be free
[Verse 3]
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
[Verse 4]
Ooh, your heart's a hook
Ego tied in knots, baiting fate
Don't do it
You ain't a god
Don't hunt salmon, carp or cod
[Verse 5]
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
[Verse 6]
It seems like cruelty to me
You ain't hungry, leave them be
[Verse 7]
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
I don't want to be fishing for fish
I just want to let them freely swim
[Verse 8]
Ooh, your heart's a hook
Ego's tied in knots, baiting fate
Don't do it
You ain't a god
Don't hunt salmon, carp or cod
[Verse 9]
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
[Verse 10]
Fishing for fishies
Don't make them feel happy
Or me neither
I feel so sorry for fishies
[Verse 11]
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
[Verse 12]
I've let them swum
I've let them swum
I've let them swum
I've let them swum
[Verse 13]
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
I have been fishing and
I don't want to catch none
