Ship Of State

Ship Of State - Sting/Renée Fleming

Lyrics by：Sting/Rob Mathes

Composed by：Sting/Rob Mathes

Capital flows like water it goeth where it may

Wherever it resistance meets it simply finds another way

Our economic miracle is not some whim of fate

But the implacable will of the market place

Aboard this mighty ship of state

The sunlit islands of the future wait

You may well wish it wasn't so

Parts of the industrial economy will simply have to go

You may deny it is not so

Sad to say you've all become expendable

It's not the time to arbitrate

You'll make yourselves unwanted freight

On the great and glorious ship of state
