Ship Of Fools

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 compassionate

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
