Every Armada Lyrics

I'm drowning and living week to week

While you stand up above causing the leak

You tell the public you love what you do

But I'm the one who is caring for the crew

Kicking my legs trying to keep this ship afloat

While you declare that your heart is in this boat.

I'm doing all the work while you pretend to steer

Save your lectures for someone who wants to hear.

When I find the gold and want to buy bread

You claim it as yours. You don't care if we're dead.

You say 'if you don't like it find another canoe.'

But every armada has someone like you.

Kicking my legs trying to keep this ship afloat

While you declare that your heart is in this boat.

I'm doing all the work while you pretend to steer

Save your lecture for someone who wants to hear.

I got the message that I'm barely worth my pay

And if I scream then I'll walk the plank today.

I know they said that I picked the wrong career

Really thought I could make a difference here.

One two three, learn your letters, cross your T's

Five six seven eight, trying to negotiate.

Barely breathing, stretch a penny, make a dime

Teach survival, feeling like a waste of time.

I'm drowning and living week to week

While you stand up above causing the leak

You tell the public you love what you do

But I'm the one who is caring for the crew
