[Verse 1]
In the event
That this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion
And we never get old
Remember it is true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
[Chorus]
We are learning to live with somebody's depression
And I do not want to live with somebody's depression
We will get by, I suppose
It is a very modern world
But nobody's perfect
[Verse 2]
It is a moving world
But that is no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It will not be forgotten
Because we will never say anything nice again, will we?
And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world
Remember it is true, loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
[Chorus]
We are learning to live with somebody's depression
And I do not want to live with somebody's depression
We will get by I suppose
But any sudden movement I have got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I have got to write it down
But I am still getting educated but I have got to write it down
And it will not be forgotten
Cause I will never say anything nice again, how can I?
