I woke up with the strangest thought today
Like something good could counteract the hate
The charlatans and chancers cast aside
Rejected by the ones they'd tried to bribe
And I hate to be the one to celebrate
A reckoning that's almost come too late
Sink
Fade away to grey
Sink
No respects to pay
Sink
Who'll mourn your demise
Sink
Watch as you capsize
Digging your own grave is thirsty work
When you haven't found a duty you won't shirk
And the sweat you stole from someone else's brow
Won't wash your dirty hands clean of the doubt
And I wonder if you ever realised
The degree to which you truly were despised
Sink
Fade away to grey
Sink
No respects to pay
Sink
Who'll mourn your demise
Sink
Watch as you capsize
Stick around and try to catch an eye
Are you thinking what that look implies
I fell asleep with dreams of something new
A world where things I back don't always lose
The architects of misery cast aside
Subsidence crushed them all in a landslide
And I know I'm not naive enough to think
That the shit from the incumbents still won't stink
Sink
Fade away to grey
Sink
No respects to pay
Sink
Who'll mourn your demise
Sink
Watch as you capsize
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Sink
Just sink
Yeah sink
Just sink
