Sinking Ship

smut peddling cannibals hang at public urinals

mister wanna buy a watch? leafy catnip tar some rock

skid marked asphalt or a pair of dirty socks!

everything is up for sale

but never any bargains

on vacation out to lunch

nervous smokers got the jitters

coffee stains and shell shocked vets

child molesting paranoid pimps

crooked cops and the dog keeps chasing itself

this cycle never stops

cycle never stops

cycle never stops.. helplessness

street signs read anywhere anytime

can you stop the bus

this is where i wanna get off

confronted by trendy chic hipsters

treading like hamsters

and tires keep turning

rubber's burning

attached to motors

no one's learning

well me hell i'm always looking for

an exit sign

so i can get out

the easy way out

so i can find some peace of brain or a comfortable ride

a cool place to hide

or a get rich quick scheme

a scapegoat or an excuse without any loopholes

so i won't trip or hang myself

something ugly settles

as if i'm heavy or short on breath

a feeling of helplessness

a feeling of helplessness

a feeling of helplessness

when i keep hearing their jibberish

vote no on yes

don't panic this is only a test

don't panic this is only a test

don't panic this is only a test

don't panic this is only a test

all those unfortunates caught in bad circumstances

lesbian skinheads who think they're in love

computer programmers owning nervous disorders

and a few sexual fantasies

only running on half filled tanks

half filled tanks

half filled tanks

half filled tanks

who will stand on the deck

on the deck? of a sinking ship...

helplessness

helplessness

helplessness

helplessness
