3. Sick and tired of what to say
No one listens, anyway
Sing, that's all you can
4. Rambling years of lousy luck
You miss the smell of burning turf
Dream, that's all you can
Ref:
Ah, but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
5. Singled out for who you are
It takes all types to judge a man
Feel, that's all you can
6. Filthy suits with bigot ears
Hide behind their own worst fears
Live, that's all you can
7. No matter where I put my head
I wake up feeling sound again
Dream, it's all you can
8. Tomorrow smells of less decay
The flowers quick just bloom and fray
Be thankful, that's all you can
Ref:
Ah, but don't, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am
I'm ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey
