verse 1
riff
And they said there was no reason to shout
riff
And for us there's no way out
riff
No one ever could have foreseen
riff
All I've got is helpless feeling
But it doesn't take a genius to see
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole 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
verse 2
They've embroiled the local matters
riff
They won't heed my futile chatter
But there's something they outta know
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole 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
Bridge
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 hooooooooooooooooooooole 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
