Ship Of Fools Lyrics - Come All You Madmen - The Briggs

I look around and see nothing but the dead 

Thought they were angels but there's nothing above their heads 

The real world came crashing through the door 

Who'd knew we'd become the children of war 

Thrown into a holding cell 

A waiting room for heaven or hell 

But they make mice out of men 

We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend 

Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

We blindly follow all the rules 

On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

If we're always compassionate 

How are we supposed to turn a profit? 

Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues 

We have the answer but we have to convert the young 

Dying is the best way to make a living 

Works for us, don't think of it as giving in 

Well, ready, set, here's the fun 

Punch the clock and grab yourself a gun 

This will be our finest hour 

As we stumble around drunk with power 

Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

We blindly follow all the rules 

On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

In the depths of the deep blue sea 

You're going over the side if I find you disagree 

Well, we fastened ourselves to our fate 

And we want to change our minds, but it's just too late 

And we gave them a chance to take the upper hand 

We didn't think they'd really take a stand 

Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

We blindly follow all the rules 

On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

In the depths of the deep blue sea 

Well, I better not catch you laughing at me 

Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

We blindly follow all the rules 

On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools 

Well, I'd sail around the sea making sure 

Everyone thinks like me
