A smack on the wrists is the words
From the mouth of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope
And the guns and the rape, it should all be okay (okay)

Your father is rich, he's the judge
He's the man, he's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows
What he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you
In you

Drag the waters some more
Like never before

Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Drag the waters some more

Sweet is the slice and the lips
You're going to have that woman, she is your favorite lay
Promised you swore that no one had been there
And she was going to keep it that way

Let it move in, you got thin
And got high, and your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile
Cannot hide the premonition of the beckoning end
The end

Drag the waters some more
Like never before

Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Drag the waters some more

Drag the waters some more (some more)
Like never before (like never before)
Drag the waters some more

Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Drag the waters some more

Drag the waters some more (some more, some more)
Like never before (before)
Drag the waters some more (some more)

Drag the waters some more
Drag the waters some more
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
Drag the waters some more

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
