lyrics

only one boat that we use
so many of us to rescue
and everyone's so desperate to prove that they're worth saving
survival of the fittest
hierarchy of the shrewdest
no room for charity when you keep the goods for a certain few

a certain few at the top
a certain few robbing the bottom of all they've got

but here's the gag:
there's room for everyone
and everyone includes you too
on this ship of fools
no one else determines your worth but you
everyone else has to follow suit
on this ship of fools

this ship is sinking down
love will never let you drown

this is the only home we have
this is the only home we know
and will we survive each other
on this sinking ship of fools
