Lyrics No Sympathy For A Sinking Ship - United Nations

No Sympathy For A Sinking Ship

I have to Confess
I’ve made my bed, I’ll sleep in it
It’s made with compromise
I’ll toss and turn, I’ll twist and shout
CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY’S
It’s time sail the seven seas
I took the money twice, with no regrets
But you should think twice before you sign
A check, a letterhead, a contribution to the dead
To us the delegates
We spend and spend, we see no end
And when were shaking hand
I’m laughing thinking of the time
I’ll give you bad advice and you will listen
You should think twice
Drinking kerosene and striking matches in your teeth
Everybody gather round to see which way this goes…
All your life you’ve been a sinking ship
It’s time to make you rise
To make your mind up
Sink or swim sinking ship, oh sinking ship
You’ll get away with it until they see which way the current drifts
So don’t come back again
We’ve already seen the story’s end
Look for an answer
At the curve of the world
Red eve
Goodnight
