Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Better call all the ships
They been caught sailing
Better call the captain
He's been caught stealing
[Verse 2]
Better call the porterman
He's been caught leaving
Better call all the guys on the deck
They been caught with no feeling
[Verse 3]
Better call the fishermen
'Cause they're coming on land
Better call the head nurse
To wrap us up and throw us in the dirt
[Verse 4]
Better call with some resistance
Better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence
Better way to feel nothing at all
[Verse 5]
Better call on evolution
Better way to make a revolution
Better make your mind up quick
Better make your mind up quick
[Verse 6]
Better call all the ships
They been caught sailing
Better call the captain
He's been caught stealing
[Verse 7]
Better call the porterman
He's been caught leaving
Better call the guys on the deck
They been caught with no feeling
[Verse 8]
Better call the fishermen
'Cause they're coming on land
Better call the head nurse
To wrap us up and throw us in the dirt
[Verse 9]
Better call with some resistance
Better way to feel no shame
Better call with some persistence
Better way to feel nothing at all
[Verse 10]
Better call on evolution
Better way to make a revolution
Better make your mind up quick
Better make your mind up quick
[Verse 11]
Better make up your mind quick
Better make up your mind quick
