Briggs - Ship of Fools lyrics

I look around and see nothing but the dead Thought they were angels but there's nothing above their heads The real world came crashing through the door Who'd knew we'd become the children of war Thrown into a holding cell A waiting room for heaven or hell But they make mice out of men We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools We blindly follow all the rules On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools If we're always compa**ionate How are we supposed to turn a profit? Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues We have the answer but we have to convert the young Dying is the best way to make a living Works for us, don't think of it as giving in Well, ready, set, here's the fun Punch the clock and grab yourself a gun This will be our finest hour As we stumble around drunk with power Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools We blindly follow all the rules On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools In the depths of the deep blue sea You're going over the side if I find you disagree Well, we fastened ourselves to our fate And we want to change our minds, but it's just too late And we gave them a chance to take the upper hand We didn't think they'd really take a stand Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools We blindly follow all the rules On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools In the depths of the deep blue sea Well, I better not catch you laughing at me Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools We blindly follow all the rules On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools Well, I'd sail around the sea making sure Everyone thinks like me
