Ship of Fools

I look around and see nothing but the dead
 Thought they were angels but there's nothing above their heads
 The real world came crashing through the door
 Who'd knew we'd become the children of war
 Thrown into a holding cell
 A waiting room for heaven or hell
 But they make mice out of men
 We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend
 Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 We blindly follow all the rules
 On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 If we're always compassionate
 How are we supposed to turn a profit?
 Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues
 We have the answer but we have to convert the young
 Dying is the best way to make a living
 Works for us, don't think of it as giving in
 Well, ready, set, here's the fun
 Punch the clock and grab yourself a gun
 This will be our finest hour
 As we stumble around drunk with power
 Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 We blindly follow all the rules
 On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 In the depths of the deep blue sea
 You're going over the side if I find you disagree
 Well, we fastened ourselves to our fate
 And we want to change our minds, but it's just too late
 And we gave them a chance to take the upper hand
 We didn't think they'd really take a stand
 Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 We blindly follow all the rules
 On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 In the depths of the deep blue sea
 Well, I better not catch you laughing at me
 Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 We blindly follow all the rules
 On the ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools
 Well, I'd sail around the sea making sure
 Everyone thinks like me
