lyrics

The system is failing, so I’m going sailing
Don’t believe that I’ll be back for quite a spell
The beaches are sinking piece by piece into the ocean
Into sediment from rusted old bombshells
I guess we deserved it, but nobody’s perfect
Hoping as we leave the shallows you’re okay
These sadlands are breaking from injustice and earthquaking
as we raise the anchors off the coasts of May

Westward we sail into a sky that’s grey and pale
Into the empty ocean void’s uncertainty
Unlimited durations out of bounds from any nation
On a ship that we call S.S. ANRACHY
Exiled for treason off the coast of Surf Rock City
Where the missiles laid they marks last Christmas Eve
And left all the people dead, and dying in the ghettos
By their nation’s own known ways of blasphemy

Wiped out
Nothing stays the same
We’re all divided now
Forced to sleep in cages ‘cause we don’t agree
With tyranny and war
Let us unite again
And never forget what we’re fighting for

I still can think back when I was just a little lad
Out in the desert underneath that old orange tree
Back when you could inhabit all that red and dusty land
Now radiating at two hundred ten degrees
The planet is dying and will soon break into pieces
Or exterminate the humans with disease
I hope things are swell up in them northern maple hills
Up past the border as a silent refugee

Wiped out
Nothing stays the same
We’re all divided now
Forced to sleep in cages ‘cause we don’t agree
With tyranny and war
Let us unite again
And never forget what we’re fighting for
