Verse:

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

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

Pre-Chorus: 

  B        Em         F# 
Thrown into a holding cell
   B        Em       F#
a waiting room for heaven or hell.
    B        Eb               E
We tried to make mice out of men.
         F#
We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend.

Chorus:

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

Verse:

Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues.
                                                  F# G Ab
We have the answer but have to convert the young.

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

Pre-Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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