There’s something I got to get off my chest
How one gets through this life
Everyone will find out
We got to change our ways
They’re talking all over town
They’ll run you in the ground
That’s why
The ship is sinking fast
Everyone wants to know
Who you been with last night
If may not be their business at all
They just want to see you fall
That’s why, that’s why
This ship is sinking fast
Don’t give your heart so cheap
Cover-up your mind
Don’t you be so open, boy
With everyone you meet
Have you down in the hole
That they’ve been living in
For so long
Never see the light of day
It’s going to hurt the ones that you love
Closest to you, yet so far away
But if it was up to me brother
This is what I would have to say
Why don’t you mind your own business
And I will mind my own the hsip is sinking fast
There’s nowhere to go
But back to the past
Turn the clock back
Found out who you really are
And you don’t like it at all
Who’s going to be the judge?
Who’s going to be the hangman?
Who’s going to free the slaves?
Who’s going to untie these hands?
The ship is sinking fast
