Steal Reserve - Sinking Ships Lyrics

When I was a child I saw the writing on the wall
But I couldn't understand the words so I ignored them all
Authority's a concept I could never comprehend
By the time I finally got it, it was too late to pretend
Well I've been saying this for years, I'll say it once again
Society's a ball and chain and something I condemn
And I can't understand demands that life has put on me
All my friends tend to pretend that they are really free
It's time we wake up and look around, This sinking ship is going down
So hold your breath and try to stay afloat
And as the waves crash down on me, I'm sinking to the bottom of the sea
And I guess that's all she wrote
So as my life plays in front of me, I remember vividly
The things I did that I wish I could change
And as I look upon the raging sea, The whole world's drowning next to me
Everyone has their own ball and chain
Cause it's time we wake up and look around, This sinking ship is going down
So hold your breath and try to stay afloat
And as the waves crash down on me, I'm sinking to the bottom of the sea
And I guess that's all she wrote
