Hole In The Ship

Well they said there was nothing to worry about
And they said there was no reason to shout
But I saw the bulkheads cracking
And for us there's no way out

When we started on our journey
No one ever could have foreseen
Our desolate and lonely ending
All I've got is helpless feeling

But it doesn't take a genius to see

There's a hole in the ship
And there's nothing we can do
Our worst fears have now come true
A few of us are struggling desperately
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity
It's time to bail, but I think it's too late

All my cohorts think I'm crackers
They've embroiled the local matters
And despite obvious warning
They won't heed my futile chatter

But there's something they outta know

There's a hole in the ship
The end is oh so near
The others show no interest or fear
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity
It's time to bail, but I think it's too late

Is it possible we have a social disease that makes us close our eyes in dangerous times
But I'm joining in nicely?
Or are we too aware and simply too scared to accept destiny, our mortality
Our mortality, yeah

There's a hole in the ship
And there's nothing we can do
Our worst fears have now come true
A few of us are struggling desperately
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
And nothing could patch the growing vacuity
It's time to bail, but I think it's too late
It's time to bail, (It's time to bail) but I think it's too late
