Intro: B G# F# E F# G# (let ring)
Verse:
I look around and I see nothing but the dead.
F# G G#
Thought they were angels but there's nothing above their heads.
The real world came crashing through the door,
F#
who'd knew we'd become the children of war.
Pre-Chorus:
B Em F#
Thrown into a holding cell
B Em F#
a waiting room for heaven or hell.
B D# E
We tried to make mice out of men.
F#
We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend.
Chorus:
B G#
Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools.
F# E B
We blindly follow all the rules on the ship of fools.
G#
All aboard the ship of fools.
F# E
If we're always compassionate,
F# G#
how are we supposed to turn a profit?
Verse:
Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues.
F# G G#
We have the answer but have to convert the young.
Dying is the best way to make a living.
F#
Works for us don't think of it as giving in.
Pre-Chorus:
B Em F#
Well ready, set, here's the fun.
B Em F#
Punch the clock and grab yourself a gun.
B D# E
This will be our finest hour
F#
as we stumble around drunk with power.
Chorus:
B G#
Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools.
F# E B
We blindly follow all the rules on the ship of fools.
G#
All aboard the ship of fools.
F# E
In the depths of the deep blue sea,
F#
you're going over the side if I find you disagree.
