Ship of Fools
Went to see the captain
Strangest I could find
Laid my proposition down
Laid it on the line
I won’t slave for beggar’s pay
Likewise gold and jewels
But I would slave to learn the way
To sink your ship of fools
Ship of fools
On a cruel sea
Ship of fools
Sail away from me
I’m having a Biden moment.Artist please.
Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travellin’ the world, you’re in search of no good
But I’m sure you’ll build your Sodom like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves
But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow
You’re gonna pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail with this ship of fools, no
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail with this ship of fools
