Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Ship of Fools

We were shipwrecked sailors searching for some fool's gold

They are the drunken local boys

They'd been out drinking all night, feeling alright

We watched them kill each other in a fight

Ship of fools, drunken hearts

Making yet another new start

Ain't it hard to play that part

When you've got a drunken heart?

Well, I can't change the world by complaining

You can't change it with a kiss

Be no concentrating, contemplating

No time to find out what we miss

Ship of fools, drunken hearts

Making yet another new start

Ain't it hard to play that part

When you've got a drunken heart?
