Unsinkable

There’s nowhere to go
We can’t jump ship
The waters are boiling
The waters are toxic

The passengers are dancing
They keep ordering more drinks
Doing everything they can
To ignore the reality

That we’re going down
We’re going to sink
All of us will drown
And it’s too late to do anything

We bought our tickets
For a one way trip
This ship is going under
We’re all going down with it

But it’s not just us
Not just the privileged few
Not just the captain and the minimum wage crew
Oh no

For the things we did and the things we didn’t do
And our mothers and our fathers and their mothers and fathers too

In the name of greed
In the name of pleasure
In the name of getting what you need
In the name of trying to live better

In the name of luxury
In the name of ease
In the name of selfishness and wickedness
In the name of apathy

We’re all going down
We’ve gone too far
And on the deck of this majestic ship
We look up at the stars

And we wish that we could reach them
We think that they’re ours to take
And this time we’d be better
Oh how we’ve learned from our mistakes

But it’s too late
We’re too far gone
So dance with me
While the band plays on
