Lyrics
Go tell the captain
Expressing urgency, instructing to inform the captain.
There's no waters left
Highlighting a scarcity of resources, specifically water.
To navigate
Indicating a challenging situation, no clear path forward.
I sailed them all for you
Personal sacrifice, having sailed all waters for someone else.
Go tell the engine room
Directing attention to the engine room, a critical area of control.
Stop stoking up the fire
Instructing to cease efforts to generate power or progress.
We're out of fuel
Announcing the depletion of fuel, a fundamental resource for movement.
Doom looms large on my horizon
Anticipating impending misfortune or difficulties.
Mountain toxic, river poison
Describing environmental hazards, toxic mountain, and poisoned river.
Fools get votes in a democracy
Critical view on democracy, suggesting foolish choices by voters.
We'll build new ring roads
Planning for infrastructure with no clear purpose or destination.
To go nowhere in particular
Emphasizing the aimlessness of new roads or paths.
Now you've passed your Highway Code
Acknowledging completion of basic driving knowledge.
And make new inroads
Creating paths for exploitation or extraction from the Earth.
Into plundering the Earth
Connecting the construction of roads to resource plundering.
For some more fuel
Stating the motive for new infrastructure is to obtain more fuel.
Doom looms large on my horizon
Reiterating a sense of impending doom or trouble.
Mountain toxic, river poison
Re-emphasizing environmental degradation with toxic elements.
Fools get votes in a democracy
Continuing skepticism about the democratic process.
Go ask the Government
Advising to inquire with the government, which was trusted through votes.
You voted in on trust
Raising a question about the whereabouts of the promised fuel.
Where is our fuel?
Expressing disappointment or frustration with the government's actions.
Doom looms large on my horizon
Repeating the sense of impending doom and environmental degradation.
Mountain toxic, river poison
Restating the dangers posed by a toxic mountain and poisoned river.
Fools get votes in a democracy
Reiterating skepticism about the democratic process.
Doom looms large on my horizon
Final repetition of the themes of impending doom and environmental harm.
Mountain toxic, river poison

Fools get votes in a democracy
