Verse:

I look around and I see nothing but the dead.
                                                           F#5   G5  Ab5 
Thought they were angels but there's nothing above their heads.

The real world came crashing through the door,
                                       F#5
who'd knew we'd become the children of war.

Pre-Chorus: 

  B5        E5         F#5 
Thrown into a holding cell
   B5        E5       F#5
a waiting room for heaven or hell.
    B5        Eb5               E5
We tried to make mice out of men.
         F#5
We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend.

Chorus:

 B5                             Ab5
Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools.
     F#5            E5                    B5
We blindly follow all the rules on the ship of fools.
                 Ab5
All aboard the ship of fools.
          F#5              E5
If we're always compassionate,
        F#5                            Ab5
how are we supposed to turn a profit?

Verse:

Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues.
                                                  F#5 G5 Ab5
We have the answer but have to convert the young.

Dying is the best way to make a living.
                                          F#5
Works for us don't think of it as giving in.

Pre-Chorus:

       B5           E5         F#5
Well ready, set, here's the fun.
  B5            E5              F#5
Punch the clock and grab yourself a gun.
          B5        Eb5     E5
This will be our finest hour
        F#5
as we stumble around drunk with power.

Chorus:

 B5                             Ab5
Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools.
    F#5             E5                    B5
We blindly follow all the rules on the ship of fools.
                Ab5
All aboard the ship of fools.
         F#5                     E5
In the depths of the deep blue sea,
              F#5
you're going over the side if I find you disagree.
