There will be no peace here at sea There will be no peace for the seamen There will be no comfort in things There will be no comfortable earthlings They're going down with the ship We spit on our hands and we go back to work We roll up our sleeves and prepare for the worst Mom slips open her robe to delivery boys To vagrant her infirm little body Carve her name in cement so she dare not lament We are men, skin and bones no apologies We're going down with the ship You could've had it all We held it right in our heads It's a truth that will slip through your fingers It's a beauty that we could've had And we are just biology We could've stayed in the trees Where enlightenment that never lingers An existence with no poetry A body bag A body bag A body bag I require a body bag I'm going down with the ship You could've had it all You held it right in your hands It's a truth that will slip though your fingers It's a beauty that we could've had Someday this could all be yours But you chose to stay on all fours Where enlightenment that never lingers An existence with no poetry A body bag A body bag A body bag I require a body bag (Repeat 2x)
