Story Behind the Song
After watching the film Titanic with my girlfriend I started messing around with a couple of chords and the line This ship is sinking, no doubt about it came to me. Thinking this was a good description about the state of our planet, I soldiered on and came up with this environmental awareness yarn! Don't wanna preach but we'd better do something about it fast!
Lyrics
This ship is sinking, no doubt about it.
No use in crying, were going down.
In troubled waters, didnt see the signs.
Now it dont matter, were out of time.
Were out of time.
When we were younger we could have salvaged something.
But now were rusted, decayed on the underside.
This cancer lurks deep in the souls of man.
We should have run, youd better run, get out while you can.
Now were searching for that higher ground.
But all those little tremors have brought us down, down ,down, down.
Were only thinking when its much too late
And now were sinking.
