Men 2nd Lyrics - Wire

Sailing under a false flag 

We're crossing the IDL 

Becalmed where no creature lives 

Lost, forsaken, cursed 

Holed below the water line 

A shift in the plimsoll line 

Pumps in the engine room 

Women and children first 

Hysterical, no humour 

Sabotage of a rumour 

Captain-less and captionless 

Injury, hunger, thirst 

Reptile, prehensile 

Servile, editorial 

Gentile, fatal
