Nowadays The Captain Gets Off First Lyrics

Oh she's so heady

Her greatest work of fiction is herself

Oh she's so edgy

Her self defense was learned right off the shelf

And nowadays nobody goes down with the ship

No nowadays the captain gets off first

You think it's really bad but if you pay attention

You realize it's actually much worse

Oh she's so pretty

Yeah outta be for all the work she does

Mmm she's a city

That never sleeps and always has a buzz

The last and the best of the old Peter Pans

No one here is telling their real age

We're building up the boogeyman

But real life is harder

Excuse me while I crawl back to my cage

The maze has fallen

The bagpipes are calling

But no one can remember what that means

We used to have the others

To pass on information

Then decided to keep our slates real clean

Oh it's complicated

Cause we decided simple's not enough

Oh it's complicated

Did we forget that simple's hard enough

Oh it's complicated

Cause we decided simple's not enough

Oh it's complicated

Did we forget that simple's hard enough

And nowadays nobody goes down with the ship

No nowadays the captain gets off first

You think it's really bad but if you pay attention

You realize it's actually much worse
