"Listen baby - you will pay tomorrow"



Ship Of Fools ~ World Party

We're setting sail
To the place on the map from which no one has ever returned
Torn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that bur-urn
Torn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you meet
You sail away from the light of the world

Listen baby - you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow-ow-ow
You will pay tomorrow-ow-ow-ow-wow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Save me, save me from tomor-orrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of foo-ools, no no
Oh-oh-oh, save me, save me from tomor-orrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of foo-ools, no no
I want to run and hide
Right now - ri-ight now-ow yeah-eah-eah

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you-ou drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history-y-y-y
Travellin' the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you're philosophic like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your gallant slaves
As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves

But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow-ow-ow
You gonna pay tomorrow-ow-ow-ow-wow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Save me-ee, save me from tomor-orrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of foo-ools, no no no no
Oh-oh-oh, save me-ee, save me from tomor-orrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of foo-ools, no no no no

Where's it comin' fro-om or where's it goin' to?
It's just a - it's just a ship of foo-oo-oo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ools

Yeah, oh Lord

Are we fools for the lack of knowledge?
Or are we fools for being lazy?

I would have to say for being lazy. There are libraries and internet sites galore. Lack of knowledge is no excuse!

Indoctrination into a system is a pretty powerful tool for control.  We are indoctrinated by parents, schools, churches, the media, and the community of members in the system, even with libraries and internet sites full of truth, the pieces of the puzzle have been so splintered and scattered to make it very difficult for the typical human being born into the system to see what is outside, but there is an awakening happening, maybe not as fast as some of us would like, but it is happening.

I think the people are simply kept ignorant and fairly happy, and these two combined make the chains of bondage very hard to recognize.

I have not been sailing on this Ship of Fools for about 10 years.

I was trying to be nice, but yes a "ship of fools" is a very good description.  One of the 'crew members' of that 'ship' tried to tell me yesterday that voting was a birth right.  Wow.  I hope there are some on that ship can tell the difference between a franchise and right or at least smart enough to find a life boat.

After getting that first cup of joe, sitting down to read the posts in the forum, and seeing the poll at the bottom of the home page, the first thing I thought of was World Party's "Ship of Fools" and lo and behold, there it is in the thread.

Well, my immediate answer is a resounding "YES!" to the poll.

I was once a foolish crew member (like that phraseology, Federal Farmer) in my thinking and still am in my status. I cannot wait to set everything to rights and get out.

The lack of teaching skills to the young do not help the matter either. Looking for answers on the internet this info is one thing finding that answer in the books and micro film would be a whole new can of worms for me at this point only because I have never done that. Somebody has to show the path we are all born with a blank hard drive.  

"Somebody has to show the path"; God sent us LB to do this. Thank you Father.

Do not know what to say, here.

I had to be the one that voted against the flow, I guess.

The people didn't start the problem... they just let it happen... But I don't believe they are fools either, but that they've been fooled.

If the word "Most" was in the first choice, I would have picked it instead, but since I never use generalizations, I chose the second.

Birth right? I suppose in one sense that is true.

THANKS MOM AND DAD... For not doing anything about this crap we have been dealt!

I second that.  Why couldn't they have stumbled onto all this truth and brought us into this world as part of the un-numbered.  Oh well , no sense in crying over spilled milk.  It is up to us to repopulate the republics.

I believe in divine providence, that all things happen in God's time as he intends.

I wonder sometimes how long it took the Hebrew children to realize that they were slaves. They didn't start out as slaves either, but over time became enslaved to the Egyptians.

For some reason, over time God allowed that to happen, probably because of sin. Maybe that's what has happened in America.

I guess I see LB as more of a Moses.

No pressure intended LB. We all love you for your conviction and sacrifice.

God bless you for being a worthy vessel.

I guess I don't see American's as a ship of fools either, but only God knows and he will have to sort it out. That is what I am afraid of!

To say that Americans are fools would be to call myself a fool...wait a sec here...now as I rethink about it, as far as the definition of fool is concerned-- deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding--
Yeah I was most undoubtedly a fool who has been fooled.

Change vote please. 

And I still am a fool cause I haven't left the ship yet!
I'm just one who understands the captain is a pirate and so is his crew!
Ah 1...ah 2.... ah......
