We’re all in the same boat

We’re all in the same boat,

but there’s some people trying to kill other people.

We call it ‘war.’

We’re all in the same boat,

but there’s some people drilling holes in the hull.

We call it ‘environmental vandalism.’

We’re all in the same boat,

but there’s some people who think their in other boats.

We call it ‘selfishness.’

We’re all in the same boat,

and deep down, everybody knows it.

And so it is most perturbing when other people act as if were

not all in the same boat.
