Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
It's inevitable, inevitable, it's a soul destroyed
[Verse 2]
You fear until you die
You fear it till you've had enough
And you don't understand
No ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord
[Verse 3]
Airplane, do I mean what I mean?
Oh, it's inevitable, inevitable, oh, airplane
[Verse 4]
A thousand miles and hour
On politics and power
That you don't understand
No ripcord, no ripcord
N-n-no ripcord, no ripcord, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
The answer to your prayers
We'll drop you anyways
No ripcord, no ripcord
No ripcord, n-n-n--n-n-no ripcord, yeah
Written by: Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, Thom Yorke
