Codename Colin - Set Sail / Down In History

Get me off, this sinking ship
It was never heading where I wanted to go
Set a course for a colossal rift
Bad idea but how were we to know, it was
Said that we would live the life of dreams
No puppeteers controlling all our fears
We were, fed lies and they reeled us in
Promised us gold but at the cost of sin

This time it'll all be alright, the new
Captains gonna save our souls
Raise the anchor and drift away
We don't want no company anyway
This time it'll all be alright, the new
Captains gonna save our souls
Set sail and take us away
We don't want your company we're better off without you

Better off without you

There's talk of mutiny among the crew
They're saying, look what a mess you've got us in to
Are we heading East or West
And what about when there's no supplies left?
You're tripping over lies, You're getting tongue tied
You're full of excuses and you're running out of time
You're numbers up, we'll vote for someone new
They've promised us they can do what you can't do

This time it'll all be alright, the new
Captains gonna save our souls
Raise the anchor and drift away
We don't want no company anyway
This time it'll all be alright, the new
Captains gonna save our souls
Set sail and take us away
We don't want your company we're better off without you

Better off without you

We're taking everything away from ourselves
To feed the greed and sow the seeds of our destructive farewell
The cracks in our society are splitting straight down to the core
What's the point in fighting when all we are is ignored

But no ones bothered with rebellion
They're all too happy with extinction

We're going down, in history
As the generation that lost it all
The generation that threw it all away
There will be no more history
We stood aside and let it die
Watched it burn
Right in front of our eyes

No ones got an attention span
Long enough to see the damage
That we're causing to ourselves
Fake news, fake truths, fake lies
Stick them all together and ignore the worlds cries
It's screaming, crying everything is dying
You poisoned the well, it's terrifying

We are not stupid we're not useless
But we're too happy with excuses

We're going down, in history
As the generation that lost it all
The generation that threw it all away
There will be no more history
We stood aside and let it die
Watched it burn
Right in front of our eyes

We're going down, in history
As the generation that lost it all
The generation that threw it all away
There will be no more history
We stood aside and let it die
Watched it burn
Right in front of our eyes
Our eyes
Our eyes
