Fish

A fish is any member of a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as various extinct related groups. Most fish are ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary as ambient temperatures change, though some of the large active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature. Fish are abundant in most bodies of water. They can be found in nearly all aquatic environments, from high mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) to the abyssal and even hadal depths of the deepest oceans (e.g., gulpers and anglerfish).

Mr President, you don't know my name, 
 But you could find it if you really cared, 
 Because I pay my taxes and I pay my dues, 
 All I ask for in return is the truth. 
 Can we just be honest, I've heard that speech is free 
 So please believe me that this address is sincere 
 I'm no-one special, just a regular guy 
 But I just can't keep on wondering why 
 That the shells we fired they now kill our own 
 And we waste away like shadows in our homes. 
 I fell from blue skies, fought through desert storms 
 I froze in firefights, I killed someone, 
 That had a father who loved him just like mine 
 Who believed the sacrifice was justified 
 In the name of freedom and in the name of God 
 While shifting sands hid all our sins and all the blood 
 In the wake of glory, I flew back home 
 I watch videos at night in my uniform 
 Of those towns and cities being blown apart 
 By those bombs that fool the people by being smart 
 As they flew down chimneys, flew along corridors 
 And explode on film and everyone goes 'awe!' 
 And you read the stories about how no-one's killed 
 And I think about the photos that I kept 
 To remind me that it was all for real 
 And the ghost that I've become will be released 
 To the sands still shifting that cover all the lies 
 About what really happened and who really died. 
 Was it really worth it? 
 Was it worth the cost? 
 Did we really take the high ground or have we lost all the moral battles, did we lose the war? 
 Mr President I need to know for sure 
 That with all this knowledge, all this control 
 That we were on the right side after all 
 That we weren't lied to, that we weren't used 
 And the country that we fought for still upholds the truth. 
 Mr President you don't know my name 
 But you can find it if you really cared 
 It's on a black wall, it's on a cross of stone 
 In the Balkan States, the Gulf and close to home 
 On not so foreign islands out on city streets 
 Mr President, just tell me why I'm here 
 This is my question, this is my life, this is my address 
 Mr President 
 Mr President, Mr President 
 This is my address, this is my address, this is my address, 
 Mr President 
 Mr President 
 This is my address
