Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship? - The Singing Song lyrics

we were born one night wide awake summer sweat stained and the mosquitoes they laughed oh they laughed and we heard a singing from where we knew not but we were tapping our feet and we answered back in voices we knew not we had but we're tapping our feet we learned well something we once had forgotten and we're tapping our feet and then the month of may pa**ed and the mosquitoes' laughs turned to cackles with their eyes glowing red well some of us got nervous we screamed these streets aren't our streets they're our shackles they're our shackles well i said goodbye and i thought to myself i thought to myself these streets are our shackles like the sun going down on the river keeps me tied to this world
