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