Princeton

from Lion Gardiner by Eastern Phoebes

lyrics

I was on the Princeton when she went down//I was one of those who made it out//with all of my limbs attached//and I could hear the trumpets in the background//forever thankful banking on the simple fact//that my head is clear//lucky to be here//living life seems easy on the surface//but I was on the battleship that killed off several heads of state//and let me state for all intents on purpose//I’m agitated hate to be a part of history//it’s not up to me//lalala//what can you do?//it’s not up to you//my head is clear//lucky to be here.
