Well the blues scene hete is getting’
mighty grim
We can’t get no work
The gigs are getting slim
It ain’t like we just
Comin’ out 'a the gate
Something inside
Says it’s not too late

It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim

It’s not like we wanna live a life of crime
But we have to admit
It has entered our minds

It’s not like we wanna be millionaires
All we want
Is to get our share
CH
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim

Bridge:
When the river is rising
I need to
See your hand
I know we can make it
We just need a plan
Step by step
Inch by inch
One thing I know
It ain’t time to quit


They say no one gets heard in
Their own city
Hell we don’t need
Nobody’s pity
So come on baby now
Take my hand
Got to try and make it
To dry land

CH
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
It’s either sink or swim
