No Sympathy for a Sinking Ship
I have to confess
I've made my bed, I'll sleep in it
It's made with compromises
I'll toss and turn. I'll twist and shout
Captains of industry
It's time to sail the seven seas
I took the money twice with no regrets
But you should think twice before you sign
A check, a letterhead, a contribution to the dead
To us, the delegates
We spend and spend, we see no end
And when we're shaking hands
I'm laughing thinking of the times
I'll offer bad advice and you still listen
You should think twice
Drinking kerosene and striking matches with your teeth!
Everybody gather round to see which way this goes...
All your life you've been a sinking ship. It's time to make you rise
To make your mind up: sink or swim?
Sinking ship, oh sinking ship
You'll get away with it until they see which way the currents drift
So don't come back again, we've already seen the story's end
Look for an answer at the edge of the world

Red eye, red eye, red eye
Goodnight
Goodnight
