"Band Played On" lyrics

"Band Played On"

Look out my window see a world that's on fire
Some people think that we should just let it burn
With all this ignorance the flames just get higher, higher

All of these people with their misinformation
Must be the truth if it's a blog on the screen
We got to buy it it's the latest creation

Too many icebergs out on the ocean
Too many chances to sink like a stone
The great titanic about to go under
And the band played on

Guess everybody needs a new pair of glasses
A lot of shit out there nobody can see
Yeah everybody's got their heads up their asses

We're all out here dead in the water
We got a leak in the boat
We're all up shit creek without a paddle
Just trying to stay afloat

We're all out here dead in the water
We got a leak in the boat
We're up shit creek without any paddle
Just trying to stay afloat

Too many icebergs out on the ocean
Too many chances to sink like a stone
The great titanic about to go under
And the band played on

And the band played
And the band played on
