Donnacha - Women and Children First Lyrics

Men, women and children
Show you what to do
All unforgiven
With no right to choose
I think I saw a monster
It sounded just like you
Got one in the chamber
Just to help us all lose
You want to leave us black and blue
We're taking on water
So get off or get out
A crew of lost souls
This ship's going down
With whistles and lifeboats
Cracks in the deck
I'm going down in the drink
With your foot on my neck
Red eyes in the morning
With a soldier in the box
Want to get everything we can
But what is the cost
We will be safe as long as we protect ourselves
Sounds like we've lost focus
On everybody else
You're gonna leave us black and blue
We're taking on water
So get off or get out
A crew of lost souls
This ship's going down
With whistles and lifeboats
Cracks in the deck
I'm going down in the drink
With your foot on my neck
Could we have known
It would end up this way
All of these kings and queens
Have led us astray
A billion bloody throats
Choke down the water
Hateful eyes and a head of sand
White nights to a slaughter
They say you left us black and blue
We've left ourselves broken and used
We're taking on water
So get off or get out
A crew of lost souls
The shit's going down
With whistles and lifeboats
Cracks in the deck
I'm going down in the drink
With your foot on my neck
