Lyrics
Safer Than We Know
What are we going to do
Wonder if we’ll make it through
The clouds are looking awful mean
It’s the worst I’ve ever seen
Ripe and ready all around
Sighing crying waiting to drown
When you’ve got ‘em swat ‘em
Send them to the bottom send them to the bottom
Cold and moldy they will lie
Flaccid placid seaweed pie
Yellow-bellied quivering like jelly they will be
Never seen the waves so high
Feels like spit in my eye
Black as pitch black as hell
Like a witch has cast a spell
On the other hand
On the other hand
Try to understand
The faith God gave to man
I have seen the surf like this before
Storms can be much worse along the shore
Though we are tossing to and fro
We’re safer than we know
Is it possible that we may be
Safer when we’re far out to sea
Why invent the worst scenario
We’re safer than we know
Wishy washy wimps are they
Mindless spineless slugs at play
When you nab ‘em stab ‘em
Send their sorry bones down to Davy Jones
Hopeless copeless bundles of nerves
Hasty pasty-faced hors d’oevres
When you bag ‘em gag ‘em
Drag them to his locker down below
Can you hear the engine drone
Hey the radio is blown
Maybe we should start to bail
Ha! If you can find a pail
On the other hand
On the other hand
Try to understand
The faith God gave to man
Think about the words of Uncle Mo
He told us that we should check our toes
And if every one of them is dry
It’s a very hopeful sign
Sometimes children can be wise
Look beyond the stormy skies
See what no one else can find
A very hopeful sign
A very hopeful sign
