On the Beach

Lyrics

Millions of megatons, the power of a thousand suns Fowl our sky for years to come, a pyroclastic grave We beached the boat when it ran dry We pleaded with each other why And in our hearts we wished we'd die before we climbed aboard Well I know it is a weakness, it's a lifetime of indifference Payed the tax and stole the rent, how did it rock the boat? Ignore the pilgrims' suicide, thе human bombs, rising tide Saxons failed and tried and firеd, they finally came to me... Whispered tales of creed and flag Nowhere to ship home the body-bags Go pay the ferryman, and leave the tags rusting on the shore I'm on the run my MP3 downloads global catastrophe Like the strangest darkest fantasies, the warheads fill the sky Now a refugee on a Russian sub, a deal with a [little adolescent thug]? Right they were to call us mugs as they waved us out to sea After thirty days of poison flood The engines crack the diesel mud People tired of sweat and blood, we ran the boat aground And fighting with each other, why? Regretting why we'd never tried And in our hearts already died before we hit the beach Whispered tales of creed and flag There's nowhere to ship home the body-bags Go pay the ferryman, and leave the tags rusting on the shore
