Ship of State
Oh the ship (oh the ship) oh the ship of state is sinking
oh the ship (oh the ship) ship of state is going down
oh the ship (oh the ship) and this is what I’m thinking
that if the ship of state is sinking
I hope nobody drowns
it’s too late (it’s too late) to build a bigger boat
it’s too late (it’s too late) to argue by degrees
if we want (if we want) if we want to stay afloat
then we all must start rowing
to get to calmer seas
we can row (we can row) we can row that boat ashore
we can go (we can go) to where troubles are forgot
we can sail (we can sail) if we try a little more
if we try a little harder
and row with all we’ve got
Oh the ship (oh the ship) oh the ship of state is sailing
oh the ship (oh the ship) to a new and better land
oh the ship (oh the ship) and we cannot be a-failing
if the ship of state is sailing
we all must lend a hand.
