When a ship is sinking and they lower the lifeboats |
|
And hand out the life jackets, the men keep on their coats |
|
The women and the children are the ones who must go first |
|
And the men who try to save their skins are cowards and are cursed |
|
Every man's a captain, men know how to drown |
|
Man the lifeboats if there's room, otherwise go down |
|
And it's the same when there's a war on: it's the men who go to fight |
|
Women and children are civilians, when they're killed it's not right |
|
Men kill men in uniform, its the way war goes |
|
When they run they're cowards, when they stay they are heroes |
|
Every man's a general, men go off to war |
|
The battlefields a man's world, cannon fodders what they're for |
|
It's the men who have the power, it's the men who have the might |
|
And the world's a place of horror because each man thinks he's right |
|
A man's home is his castle so the family let him in |
|
But what's important in that kingdom is the women and the children |
|
A husband and a father, every man's a king |
|
But he's really just a drone, gathers no honey, has no sting |
|
Have pity on the general, the king, and the captain |
|
They know they're expendable, after all they're men |
