lyrics

It’s clear the ship is sinkin’
That the world we once knew is gone
But as the bow plunges into the icy depths
I’m surprised to see men blindly hanging on
The waves that rocked the boat so gently
Have roared up over our heads
And now down on our knees
We’re just waiting for the sea
To carry us off with the dead

But the rising tide
Will lift all boats
That tried to float above the murky depths below
And as the water does rise
It’ll drown out the lies
And the bureaucrats will be the first to go
The rising tide
Will surely kill
As it washes out the dirt that makes us ill
I don’t know where this world’s going
But I can personally assure
That before things gets better
They’re gonna have to get much worse

It’s clear that we’re all going crazy
We haven’t spoken to each other for years
They throw us in their predetermined groups
And profit off our tendency to fear
The weight they tried to tie us down with
Is bringing them down with their ships
And now it’s time to decide
If you’re rising with the tide
Or if you’ll die with lies upon your lips

But the rising tide
Will lift all boats
That tried to float above the murky depths below
And as the water does rise
It’ll drown out the lies
And the bureaucrats will be the first to go
The rising tide
Will lift all boats
That had the bravery to find a way to float
But as the water floods the tomb
Your breathing will resume
Without the hands of tyrants on your throat
The rising tide
Is gonna kill!
It’s gonna wash away
the world you thought was real
I’m not sure this world’s going
But with a gun up to my head
I can’t wait to see
This toxic culture dead
