Speaking of jealousy and greed

That reminds me of a story

You see, there was a ship crossing the ocean

Carrying large buckets full of live seafood

When suddenly, the ship's First Mate yells, "Captain!"

"Some of the crustaceans are climbing to the top!"

To which the Captain asks, "which ones are they?"

"It's the Crabs, sir!"

Well, the Captain just laughs to himself and says, "don't worry about it"

"They'll just pull each other back down"

(Crabs)

They pull each other down

(Crabs)

They're black, white, yellow, brown

(Crabs)

Won't give what you need

(Crabs)

Their motivation's greed

When you find you're movin' up

Someone pulls you down

But you're not built, for givin' up

Don't let em' bring you down

(Crabs)

They pull each other down

(Crabs)

They're black, white, yellow, brown

(Crabs)

Won't give what you need

(Crabs)

Their motivation's greed

They're all around

It's really bad

It's a travesty

And you know what's really sad?

Is when it's family

They're the gatekeepers

The grim reapers of your dreams

Ohhhhhh

(Crabs)

"I'm sorry, but you can't just come in here"

"You need to make an appointment to get an appointment"

"And I have to email the boss to see if he's gonna be here to give you an appointment"

"You gotta' get by me to get in there"

"You're that close"

"But, we're looking for somebody a little younger"

"A little older"

"A little thinner"

(Crabs)

"A little heavier"

"A little hairier"

They pull each other down

(Crabs)

They're black, white, yellow, brown

(Not the kind you go to the doctor for)

(Crabs)

Won't give what you need

(Crabs)

Their motivation's greed

Man, every time he calls me "bro" here comes another knife in my back

(Don't you just hate when the boss screws up and goes and blames you?)

"Hey, I'd like to rent out your equipment to someone else for a hundred dollars and I'll pay you fifty"

It's enough to make you cry

(Liars, and daggers, and Crabs, o'my!)
