Punch Another Hole 

Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’
Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’

There’s a hole in the bottom of the ocean
there’s a hole in the bottom of the sea
Lots of muck coming up on the beaches
as far as I can see, yeah;
lots of people feeding their addiction
everybody got some place to go
every rig is another shared needle
got to drill baby drill some more.

And if you have a closed fist
every problem is just another time to explode
and if you have your eyes closed
in this darkness—you’re only gonna find one solution:
you’re gonna punch another hole
gonna punch another hole.

There’s a hole in the bottom of my pocket,
there’s a hole in my market share
there’s a bookie who’ll take your bet
anytime, anywhere…
there’s a sucker born every minute
gonna mortgage off his soul;
all it takes is a shiny shovel
he’s gonna dig his own hole.

(repeat chorus)

There’s a hole at the end of the muzzle
don’t get in my way--
a thousand more are coming right behind me
gonna make you change your ways;
every hole is a mouth to a tunnel
stretching back to an empty place;
every eye looking down the barrel
wears another human face.

(repeat chorus twice)

Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’
Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’
Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’
Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’
Oh, this ship’s a-sinkin’
Oh…
