NOFX - Down With The Ship lyrics
[NOFX - Down With The Ship lyrics]
It could have been helped
It might have been saved
With me at the helm, I could have found ways
To keep it afloat and find a new course
But I steered the ship right into the cliffs
The easy way out, a cowardly move
A short sighted plan made
By a self-centered man
The crew stayed with the ship
And bailed as one
They didn't know irreparable damage was done
They had so much pride and camaraderie
But that was all lost when they spotted me
Rowing to shore with treasure on board
A cowardly plan made by a self-loathing man
Without regrets, without looking back
I chose to walk on the less beaten sociopath
With all the spoils of an island of one
I don't need dynasty, I don't need anyone
I knew the consequence when
I plotted this trip
I'm not a man who'll go down with the ship
It might have been saved
With me at the helm, I could have found ways
To keep it afloat and find a new course
But I steered the ship right into the cliffs
The easy way out, a cowardly move
A short sighted plan made
By a self-centered man
The crew stayed with the ship
And bailed as one
They didn't know irreparable damage was done
They had so much pride and camaraderie
But that was all lost when they spotted me
Rowing to shore with treasure on board
A cowardly plan made by a self-loathing man
Without regrets, without looking back
I chose to walk on the less beaten sociopath
With all the spoils of an island of one
I don't need dynasty, I don't need anyone
I knew the consequence when
I plotted this trip
I'm not a man who'll go down with the ship
