Hi dmb, some lyrics below.

[dmb]
I'm drowning in a sea of fools. It's so depressing. God help us.

[Mark]
This reminds me of a song from World Party around the turn of the '90s.
 Reads better with the music.  Better than the Doors' or Grateful Dead's, or
even Robert Plant's, a truly great song.

Ship of Fools

We're setting sail
To the place on the map from which no one has ever returned
Torn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Torn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you meet
You sail away from the light of the world

Listen baby - you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow-ow-ow
You will pay tomorrow-ow-ow-ow-wow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no
Oh-oh-oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no
I want to run and hide
Right now - right now yeah-eah-eah

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travellin' the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you're philosophic like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your gallant slaves
As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves

But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no no no
Oh, save me save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no no no

Where's it comin' from or where's it goin' to?
It's just a - it's just a ship of fools

Yeah, oh Lord
