Turn Tail

Lyrics

[Verse 1] These are my hands, these are brick walls Men can break down brick walls, men can break down brick walls These are my hands, these are brick walls Men can break down brick walls, men can break down brick walls [Verse 2] Where are the spoils? Where are the treats? I've been worked to the bone, I've been worked off my feet Head in my hands, hands in the soil I've been cheated and stripped of my perfect retreat [Chorus] We're all slaves on this ship, we're all slaves on this ship This ship's sinking We will not reach the shore, we will not reach the shore Reach the shore [Verse 3] My back is sore, so I sleep on the floor With the dust and the leaves that blew under the door These are my chores, these are my chores I must not show the strain [Chorus] We're all slaves on this ship, we're all slaves on this ship This ship's sinking We will not reach the shore, we will not reach the shore Reach the shore This ship's sinking This ship's sinking This ship's sinking [Refrain] Turn tail and run, turn tail and run I will turn tail and run, I will turn tail and run Turn tail and run, turn tail and run I will turn tail and run, I will turn tail and run Turn tail and run, turn tail and run I will turn tail and run, I will turn tail and run Turn tail and run, turn tail and run I will turn tail and run [Bridge] Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts Jump from the prow, jump from the prow Swim to the coast, boat full of ghosts Jump from the prow, jump from the prow Jump from the prow, jump from the prow Jump from the prow, jump from the prow [Refrain] Turn tail and run, turn tail and run I will turn tail and run, I will turn tail and run Turn tail and run turn tail and run I will turn tail and run, I will turn tail and run [Chorus] We're all slaves on this ship, we're all slaves on this ship This ship's sinking We will not reach the shore, we will not reach the shore Reach the shore This ship's sinking This ship's sinking This ship's sinking [Outro] Turn tail and run, turn tail and run I will turn tail and run, I will turn tail and run
