Well they said there was nothing to worry about And they said there was no reason to shout But I saw the bulkheads cracking And for us there's no way out
When we started on our journey No one ever could have foreseen Our desolate and lonely ending ????????? feeling [I've got to help this feeling?] [I've got a helpless feeling?]
But it doesn't take a genius to see
There's a hole 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
All my cohorts think I'm crackers They ??????????? matters [They run the local matters?] [They're enthroned above the matters?] And despite obvious warning They won't heed my futile chatter
But there's something they outta know
There's a hole 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
Is it possible we have a social disease that makes us close our eyes in dangerous times But I'm ??? nicely [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 hole 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
