Ship of fools
The Ship of fools is rambling along on its familiar course.

The Ship of fools mocks merit and intelligence.

The Ship of fools holds celebrity in high regard.

The Ship of fools speaks loudly and carries automatic weapons.

The Ship of fools does not care what's in its path. It plows
ahead toward an ending that those who have already jumped from
it see all too clearly. Yet the Ship of fools doesn't seem
to care where it's headed. It heads with impunity, machismo,
arrogance and ignorance.

There are two choices. Retake the helm, or get off before it's
too late.

The plank is over here you say?

2. Captain, she's breaking up!
From The Doors:

The human race was dyin' out
No one left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon

Everyone was hanging out
Hanging up and hanging down
Hanging in and holding fast
Hope our little world will last

Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools

The human race was dyin' out
Noone left to scream and shout
People walking on the moon
Smog will get you pretty soon
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
(improv and fade)


:evilgrin:
dbt
(The future's uncertain and the end is always near)
