Well they said there was nothing to worry about And they said there was no reason to shout But I saw the bulkheads cracking And for us there's no way out When we started on our journey No one ever could have foreseen Our desolate and lonely ending And a growing helpless feeling But it doesn't take a genius to see There's a hole in the ship And there's nothing we can do Our worst fears have now come true A few of us are struggling desperately To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. humanity It's time to bail, but I think it's too late All my cohorts think I'm crackers They’re embroiled in other matters And despite obvious warning They won't heed my futile chatter But there's something they ought to know There's a hole in the ship The end is oh so near The others show no interest or fear Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity It's time to bail, but I think it's too late Is it possible we have a social disease That makes us close our eyes in dangerous times But I'm joining in nicely Or are we too aware and simply too scared To accept destiny, our mortality Our mortality, yeah! There's a hole in the ship And there's nothing we can do Our worst fears have now come true A few of us are struggling desperately To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. humanity Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy And nothing could patch the growing vacuity It's time to bail, but I think it's too late It's time to bail, (It's time to bail) but I think it's too late
