THE BRIGGS SHIP OF FOOLS LYRICS

 
I look around I 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 knew we'd become the children of war

Thrown into a holding cell
A waiting room for heaven or hell
We tried to 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 poison tongues
We have the answer but we have to convert the young

Dying is the best way to make a living
Work for us don't think of it as giving in

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 deap blue sea
You're going over the side if I find you disagree

Now we fastened ourselves to our fate
We want to change our minds, but it's just too late
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
I better not catch you laughing at me

On the ship of fools
All aboard the ship of fools
I sail around the sea
Making sure everyone thinks like me
