Lyrics: Lee Bailey/Tom Prendergast
Music: Lee Bailey/Tom Prendergast
So sit down and wait, The quarter is running long,
And we must take the bait, With hopes to hear a different song,
We stand on idly by…and in silence we’ll wait our turn,
Stood here on a pyre, atop a fire that’s slow to burn
And you’ll say, it’s all OK
Just believe in this rope that they wrapped round your neck just to save
A sinking boat full of holes
A sinking boat full of holes
So sit down and wait, Watch all of the lies they serve on a silver plate
And they’ll tell you that its all fine, still they wont hesitate
To drop you like a habit that they no longer need,
You just take it on the chin until you bleed
But it’s all OK
Just believe in this rope that they wrapped round your neck just to save
A sinking boat full of holes
A sinking boat full of holes
And you’ll say, it’s all OK
Just believe in this rope that they wrapped round your neck just to save
A sinking boat
If you break, Then it’s your mistake
Just to pick up the pieces when they choose to hit on the brakes
On a sinking boat full of holes
A sinking boat full of holes
So sit down and wait, We’re hitting the waves head on
We passed the time to change, its not us that’s in the wrong
Refusing to hear our cries, of course that would be so absurd
Expecting the same results, from all the lessons that you never learned
And you’ll say, it’s all OK
Just believe in this rope that they wrapped round your neck just to save
A sinking boat
If you break, Then it’s your mistake
Just to pick up the pieces when they choose to hit on the brakes
And I hope you saved, your receipts
For you’re conscious of mine while you’ve been so unkind
And expecting us all
To save a boat full of holes
A sinking boat full of holes
