Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Ship of Fools

Performed by World Party

We're setting sail to the place on the map

From which no one has ever returned

Torn by the promise of the joker and the fool

By the light of the crosses that burn

Torn by the promise of the women and the lace

And the gold and the cotton and pearls

It's the place where they keep all the darkness you meet

You sail away from the light of the world

Listen baby, you will pay tomorrow

You're gonna pay tomorrow

You will pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow

I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow

I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no

I want to run and hide, right now

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea

They will leave you drifting in the shallows

Drowning in the oceans of history

Travelin' the world, you're in search of no good

But I'm sure you're philosophic, like I knew you would

Using all the good people for your gallant slaves

As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves

But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow

You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah

You gonna pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow

I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow

I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no

Where's it comin' from? Or where's it goin' to?

It's just a, it's just a ship of fools, yeah, oh Lord
