Mainland

The less you care, the more I hold tight
The more I'm involved, the less I do right
I went to school, I didn't stay
I spoke right up when I had nothing good to say

But now I'm jumping off of that train of thought
It's led me too far afield
Foil a finger in my beer
Wind me up and hold me near

But did you ever find your mainland?
Oh, I suspect you did
And are you drowning in your element?
Why did you stay?

Now I stayed in the car
To hear the end of your song on the radio
I don't know if I recall the last time
Something like that occurred to me

But did you ever find your mainland?
Oh, I suspect you did
And are you drowning in your element?
Why did you stay?

Look out!
Here come the intellectual creeps
Here come the asshole college professors
He don't sow what he reaps
And this one's always out looking
For another investor of the sort

But did you ever find your mainland?
Oh, I suspect you did
And are you drowning in your element?
Why did you stay?

Drowning in your element
I'm drowning in your element
I'm drowning in your element
I'm drowning in your element
