Its not the money you make
It?s not the promises you always break
Its not the light of reason that you?ve got turned way down low
Its not the wife you cheated on
Its not the mistress you chose to lay you?re love upon
Its certainly not the children that you hardly know
Pre-Chorus
It?s the fact that you can?t even feel
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
The ship is thinking
Were all gonna be drinking the saltwater
drinking the saltwater
Its not the wars you make
Its not the peace you fake
It?s not the eye you close at the back you always see the turn
Hey it ain?t the crime
It ain?t the getaway, get away, getaway
It?s not the number of bridges that you violently burn
Pre-Chorus
It?s the fact that you can?t even feel
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
The ship is sinking
Were all gonna be drinking the saltwater
drinking the saltwater
Bridge
It?s not the government
It?s not the evil we represent
It?s not the way we shake our heads and say ?What more can we do??
It?s not the hope we killed
It ain?t the holes we filled
It certainly ain?t the trees or the leaves that pretty soon we are gonna have to stick on with glue
Pre-Chorus
It?s the fact that we can?t even feel
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
The ship is thinking
Were all gonna be drinking the saltwater
drinking the saltwater
drinking the saltwater
drinking the saltwater
Outro
The ship is sinking
