Cindy Lee got herself a forty cent raise
Singing protest songs in the LA haze
She likes to see things change tryin’ to keep her head above water

When Christopher ordered his cinnamon swirl
He got sweet for the waitress but she’s sweet for the girls
Still she’s his at breakfast trying to keep her head above water

Everyone I know’s just trying to do their thing
Everyone I know is dreaming the same dreams
Everyone I know is trying to find a better song to sing
Everyone I know just keeps on trying
To keep their heads above water

This here’s a story ‘bout a man named “jed”
Yeah, he’s doing what he can to keep the family fed
He always said y’gotta keep your head above water

Jeffery takes heart in the rad he knows well
Pulls up in a truck with some stories to tell
He’s workin’ miracles tryin’ to keep his head above water

Everyone I know’s just trying to do their thing
Everyone I know is dreaming the same dreams
Everyone I know is trying to find a better song to sing
Everyone I know just keeps on trying
To keep their heads above water

Michael said a prayer shaking hands with the Pope
Dropped out of the church and gave the rest of us hope
By taking faith in himself trying to keep his head above water

Most everyone I know is afraid of the Queen
They look both ways before they’re seen
In certain company trying to keep their heads above water

Yeah, but I got a woman who stands by her man
Through thte thick and the thin of taking a stand
It our faith in the plan that keeps our heads above water

Everyone I know’s just trying to do their thing
Everyone I know is dreaming the same dreams
Everyone I know is trying to find a better song to sing
Everyone I know just keeps on trying
