Lyrics Ship of Fools - John Illsley, Guy Fletcher, Robbie McIntosh

Ship of Fools

A land of fear and dirty tricks.
Will take much more than words to fix.
Those monkeys walked away Scot free.
Never made much sense to me.
One paints pictures on his ranch.
The other makes money given half a chance.
It’s a one way ticket a one way track.
Can’t shift the monkey on your back.
Ship of fools goes round again.
Ship of fools without a plan.
All are lost, they’re all at sea.
No place to hide no sanctuary.
Invite them in for a cosy chat.
Stop hiding behind some legal crap.
Now millions walk for an eternity.
To find a safer place to be.
Ship of fools goes round again.
Ship of fools without a plan.
All are lost, They’re all at sea.
No palce to hide, no sanctuary.
Risks you took were far too grand.
Under crescent moon and barren land.
Security as what you sought.
Now your energies have come to nought.
Price we paid was much too high.
'Cos one day those oil wells will dry.
Ignore the paths of history.
Never made much sense to me.
Skip of fools goes round again.
Ship of fools without a plan.
All are lost.
They’re all at sea.
No place to hide, no sanctuary.
