lyrics

AIN’T GONNA GO DOWN WITH YOUR SHIP, MATE

He’s rude and crude and loud, no-one has less reason to be proud
He’s fillin’ up all the air and shovin’ me into the crapper
He says “Come and work for me, you can be my worker bee –
Make me rich and I’ll discard you like a wrapper.”

But I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate
I got somethin’ else to do and it can’t wait
Find someone else to trim your sails and to cut bait
‘Cause I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate

The devil comes and says to me, in my time of misery
“You look tired, honey baby, do you need a rest?
Deny the God who gives you life, I’ll save you from all pain and strife
Become another stressed-out robot like the rest.”

But I said I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate
I got somethin’ else to do and it can’t wait
Find someone else to trim your sails and to cut bait
‘Cause I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate

Jared Kushner met the law, then he saw his dad-in-law
Who said “Did you tell them anything, boy, did you squeal?”
Jared said “A young man like me’s got no place in a penitentiary
So I’m sendin’ you there instead, you rotten heel.”

I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate
I got somethin’ else to do and it can’t wait
Find someone else to trim your sails and to cut bait
‘Cause I ain’t gonna go down with your ship, mate
