Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I must not show the strain
With the dust and the leaves
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore
We will not reach the shore
This ship's sinking
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
My back is sore, so I sleep on the floor
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
This ship's sinking
Head in my hands, hands in the soil
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore
We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking
I will turn tail and run
These are my chores, these are my chores
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
I've been worked off my feet
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
That blew under the door
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
I will turn tail and run
Men can break down brick walls
I will turn tail and run
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
Where are the spoils? Where are the treats?
We're all slaves on this ship
This ship's sinking
Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts
Turn tail and run, turn tail and run
We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking
This ship's sinking
I've been cheated and stripped of my perfect retreat
This ship's sinking
Men can break down brick walls
Jump from the prow, jump from the prow
We're all slaves on this ship, this ship's sinking
I will turn tail and run
We're all slaves on this ship
I will turn tail and run
This ship's sinking
Men can break down brick walls
I will turn tail and run
These are my hands, these are brick walls
We will not reach the shore
I've been worked to the bone
I will turn tail and run
We're all slaves on this ship
We will not reach the shore, reach the shore
I will turn tail and run
We will not reach the shore
