Dave Taylor - Sinking Fast Lyrics

Uncertain destinations calling drowning like a stone
Freakshow world around us - hear those sirens moan
We're sinking fast, yeh, yeh, yeh, we're sinking fast
This ship is headed for the rocks in that stormy blast
And we will we perish on the sea, tied up to that mast
So let's sing our final shanty tune before we breathe our last
We're sinking fast, we're sinking fast

Those predatory parasites upon this world they tread
Of all the fruits they drain it, and leave us pale and bled
We're sinking fast

You lead us to the ballot box as to the altar shrine
And shamelessly you milk the trough and steal the bread and wine
We're sinking fast

From your tunnel vision mother nature reels from shock
And blindly stumbles onwards and hears that ticking clock
We're sinking fast

Headed for that melting pot that point of no return
Grasping for that parachute before we crash and burn
We're sinking fast.

That great global amoeba hoovers up everything
Hanging by our finger tips to one last hope we cling
We're sinking fast

The banker's in his tower of glass, the dog has chewed the bone
And grandma's on the toilet playing with her phone
We're sinking fast

No future for our children, they can only drown
Sucked into the whirlpool, that slowly drags them down
We're sinking fast

The rich behind their iron gates, the beggars multiply
While we're all dreaming of Range Rovers in the sky
We're sinking fast

So let's raise our voices one and all before the die is cast
Tell it on the mountain this song will be our last
We're sinking fast
