Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I look around and I 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.
 We tried  to 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 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.
 Repeat Chorus 2x
 End On
