Sink of Swim
by Max Bombast

You and I came up in summer time
With caviar and champaign
A future bright enough to reach for the sky
But then September came

And with the fall came a steady assault
On everything that we held dear
When freedom rings false it's a clarion call
It's time that we all face our fears

You gotta sink or swim
Time to save your skin
'Cause a change is coming any day
You gotta play to win
So if you're free from sin
Grab a stone baby cast it
Baby cast away

We're gettin' by on that discount life
We could but we won't complain
Nothing to say if we get washed away
By those November rains

And when it snows we'll be coming to blows
Only some of you are gonna survive
Left out in the cold with a knife at your throat
This winter will eat you alive

You gotta sink or swim
Time to save your skin
'Cause a change is coming any day
You gotta play to win
So if you're free from sin
Grab a stone baby cast it
Baby cast away

Catchy intro. Make it half as long. This is the short lyrics w/ strong melody I'm looking for. All sections are separate, but work together.

punchy riffs, strong vocal performance. I think my favourite part is the shift to the off-beat rhythm after the first chorus, it's an interesting change that feels like it really elevates this.
