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
