  • 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've got to buy it if 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 s*** out there nobody can see
    Yeah everybody's got their heads up their a**es

    We're all out here dead in the water
    We got a leak in the boat
    We're all up s*** creak 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 s*** creak 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 Writer/s: JOE WALSH, TOMMY LEE JAMES
