Am Em we beached the boat when it ran dry , we pleaded with each other , why? Am Em and in our hearts we wished wed died before we climbed aboard Am Em well i know it is a weak defence , a lifetime of indifference Am Em paid the tax and stalled the rent , i didnt rock the boat . Am Em i ignored the pilgrim suicides , their human bombs a rising tide Am Em with sanctions failed and trident fired they finally came for me Bm Em Bm Em whispered tales of creed and flag , nowhere to ship home the body bags C G D * go pay the ferryman and leave their tags rusting on the shore Am C im on the run my mp3 downloads global catastrophe G Am like strangeloves darkest fantasy , warheads filled the sky C now a refugee on a russian sub , a deal struck with little odessan thugs G Am * how right they were to call us mugs as they waved us out to sea . the rest follows the same chords after 30 days of poisoned flood , the engines cracked the diesels mud biblical tide of sweat and blood we ran the boat aground and fighting with each other , why? regretting more wed never trie in our hearts wed already died before we hit the beach whispered tales .
