Mr Boatman, you’d sail those seven seas,
With glory in your sights, fortunes in your reach.
Mr Boatman, you’d spread your misery,
Over oceans wide, like a parasitic disease.
Mr Boatman, I’ve met many men like thee,
With power in their eyes, hatred in their spleen.
Mr Boatman, I’ve met many like thee,
They won’t rest until the world is lying at their feet
Mr Boatman, you know how to lure them in,
With all your polished words, your politician’s grin.
Mr Boatman, you’d fill it to the brim,
With all their hopes and dreams, then you’d let the water in.
Mr Boatman, I’ve met many men like thee,
With power in their eyes, hatred in their spleen.
Mr Boatman, I’ve met many like thee,
You won’t rest until the world is lying at your feet
Mr Boatman, you’ve pissed off the wrong man today
Mr Boatman, tell me how do you sleep at night,
Do you draw your curtains closed and pull those shutters tight?
Mr Boatman, you don’t display a worried mind.
I’ve started to feel your heart beats out of time.
Mr Boatman, I’ve met many like thee,
With poison in their veins, hatred in their being
Mr Boatman, I’ve met many, you see?
And they won’t rest til you’re lying in the reeds,
They won’t rest til you’re lying in the reeds,
We won’t rest, til you’re lying in the reeds
