Passing Observations

They're simply symptoms of routine
Turn up the bass and tambourine
We've heard enough and we don't care
Much less concerned with who you know
We all sang "Lotsi Go Go Go"
We told our friends that we don't care

We didn't sing so much as howl
We didn't talk so much as growl
We've said enough and we don't care
I'm just a charm around your wrist
The Mash Potato, do The Twist
It's fair enough and we don't care

The ship is sinking, I can tell
Passing observation from the steerage deck and I say it's just as well
The ship is sinking, I can tell
Passing observation from the steerage deck and I say it's just as well

Time-tested markers of a whim
We always said we'd learn to swim
Not soon enough and we don't care
Despite dispersions in the past
We kept it simple, built it fast
It's well enough and we don't care
A moralist or libertine
Or something almost in between
We've heard enough and we don't care
We lost Kenickie straightaway
And said the words we couldn't say
Still not enough and we might care

The ship is sinking, I can tell
Passing observation from the steerage deck and I say it's just as well
The ship is sinking, I can tell
Passing observation from the steerage deck and I say it's just as well
