Slabs - Tell the Captain Lyrics

Tell the Captain
Who the Jonah is

Turn homeward bound
Toward the sea
Freedom from the fleet
Isolation's what we need

Turn homeward bound
Away from shore
Where drones drop bombs
Where an eagle soared

Tell the Captain
Who the Jonah is

Outside the officers mess
Laughter at the door
Molestation, tax evasion
And other jokes d'jour

In the crew's quarters
There are tweets and moans
Sprung leaks - liked and shared
But they never make it home

Tell the Captain
Who the Jonah is

On the lower decks
It's a f*cking mess
Below the water we won't invest
A hull rotted to the core

Stores packed and locked
Bloated men in uniforms
Command the sea to boil and froth
As we sail for the storm

Tell the Captain
Who the Jonah is

Migrant skulls crack off the bow
Our wake brings dead children ashore
Fore to aft is what we know
"Its gonna be great" - rest assured

Tell the Captain
Who the Jonah is
