In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion and we never get oldRemember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable tooWe're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I supposeIt's a very modern world but nobody's perfect
It's a moving world but that's no reasonTo shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum, it won't be forgotten
'Cos we'll never say anything nice again, will we?And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal worldRemember it's true, loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable tooWe're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I supposeBut any sudden movement, I've got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it downBut I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cos I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?
