Hoist the sail on the ship of fools
Sail away on a breeze so cool
Never surrender
(Never surrender)
Never surrender
(Never surrender)
Catch the tide, anchors await
Chart the course, clear the straights
Never surrender
(Never surrender)
Never surrender
(Never surrender)
Sail away on your ship of fools
Never surrender
(Never surrender)
Never surrender
(Never surrender)
This ship could take us anywhere
(Deep into the darkest night)
But I never thought we'd end up here
(Fallen from grace, deprived of the light)
Never saw it going here
(Out of reach and out of sight)
And now I can't get off of here
(Full blown borderline)
I won't crew your ship of fools
I won't crew your ship of fools
I won't crew your ship of fools
I will never crew your ship of fools
The lighthouse has been sold for scrap
(Nothing gained nothing won)
But no one thought to bring a map
(Crash and burn into the sun)
We're heading into dire straits
(Dinosaurs in cities of gold)
Rudderless with unsure fate
(Tightening the stranglehold)
I won't crew your ship of fools
I won't crew your ship of fools
I won't crew your ship of fools
I will never crew your ship of fools
Who told him he could speak for me?
(We all know our will is free)
And take away my rights from me?
(I know what belongs to me)
Who told him I would play along?
(We all know what's going on)
I will forever sing a different song
(Justice for all under the gun)
I won't crew your ship of fools
I won't crew your ship of fools
I won't crew your ship of fools
I will never crew your ship of fools
