Salmon
Hey you, the one in white.
Why follow so freely without a fight?
Yeah you with the curly hair.
Why so concerned with what the others now wear.
Take off that white, put up a fight, and take a swim with me.
In due time you'll see, your the black sheep of the family.
Soon you'll see your scales will grow, they'll be just like mine.
Proves true in time, just like fine wine,
Being a salmon is mighty fine.
