Lyrics
[Verse 1]
To see the light and try but fail
On jagged seas that can't be sailed
And sought to lead but always trailed
Asked questions anyway
[Chorus]
And all around the breeding grounds
The nymphos sweetly played
The queen of cans and jars will keep them safe
[Verse 2]
To be so keen on global trend
To be so tight on how and when
To scratch and claw until the end
To work for each new day
[Chorus]
And all around the hunting ground
The dead were on display
The queen of cans and jars will keep them safe
