Lyrics to Put ‘Em on a Boat’


As far as I can see, this place is run by bankers,
lawyers, liars and thieves. Pushing for trillion dollar wars on
deceipts whose receipts don’t add up no more. It’s time we sent them
all back the way they came, loaded up on boats. Sent out in disgrace
across the sea . . .

Put ‘em on a boat

Put ‘em on an ship

Send em off to somewhere

Could make a mess of it

Yeh, Put ‘em on a boat

Put ‘em on an ship

Gotta let ‘em know

We’ve had enough of it

Now they treat themselves to the meat

Throw us the bones

If you ask them why

you’re going to see them throwing stones

If you look close, I bet you’ll never find it

A heart that beats, a caring mind

Put ‘em on a boat

Put ‘em on an airplane

Send em off to nowhere

Just let ‘em stay there

Yeh put em on a boat

Put ‘em on an airplane

Send ‘em out to space

no wait, they could give us a bad name

Now King George

And his angry Minions

They have claimed a sacred dominion

But less like Moses

walk the shore like Noah

Load up em up two by two

Just let ‘em go - yeh

Put ‘em on a boat

Put ‘em on an airplane

Send ‘em off to Baghdad

Let ‘em try to explain

How the hand of God

Holds a megaton of missles

Let freedom ring, c’ching, by the fistfull

La la la la la

La la la la la la

La la
la la la la

La  la
la  la  La  la  la

You could load that boat full of luxuries

and if it floats, just let it go

but dollar down, they would tear themselves apart

If it floats, just load ‘em up, just let ‘em go

Put ‘em on a boat

Send ‘em to an island

They can be the Kinds and the Queens in their minds there

Yeh, Put ‘em on a boat

Send ‘em to an island

We can only hope

No one ever finds them

Put ‘em on a boat

Put ‘em on an airplane

Send ‘em off to Baghdad

Let ‘em try to explain

How the hand of God

Holds a megaton of missles

Let freedom ring, c’ching, by the fistfull

If it floats, just load ‘em up,

You gotta put ‘em on a boat
