In the event 
that this fantastic voyage 
Should turn to erosion  
and we never get old 
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable 
But our lives are valuable too 
 
We're learning to live with somebody's depression 
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression 
We'll get by, I suppose 
It's a very modern world, 
but nobody's perfect 
 
It's a moving world,  
but that's no reason 
To shoot some of those missiles 
Think of us as fatherless scum 
It won't be forgotten 
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we? 
 
And the wrong words make you listen 
In this criminal world 
Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable 
But our lives are valuable too 
 
We're learning to live with somebody's depression 
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression 
We'll get by I suppose 
But any sudden movement I've got to write it down 
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down 
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down 
And it won't be forgotten 
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?
