In the event that this fantastic voyage

Should turn to erosion and we never get old Remember it's true, dignity is valuable

But our lives are valuable too We're learning to live with somebody's depression

And I don't want to live with somebody's depression

We'll get by, I suppose It's a very modern world but nobody's perfect

It's a moving world but that's no reason To 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 world Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable

But our lives are valuable too We're learning to live with somebody's depression

And I don't want to live with somebody's depression

We'll get by, I suppose But any sudden movement, I've got to write it down

They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down But 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?
