Abby Kimball - Jumping Ship

In a sea of all of us,
Who gave up hope,
There is a part in all of us,
That refuses to sit and mope

On the shore of Corporate America,
There is a crab that saw it all
There is a crustacean in all of us,
That still hears it’s broken call and,

I’m jumping ship,
So done with the sore faces,
And all the sorry shit,
And oh I’m jumping ship,
We’re so over,
The public apologies
We won’t live like this,
We’d sooner jump the ship,

In the sands of society,
So precise and rough,
So many of the grains ask me,
Why is this so god damn tough?

If we’re all from the ocean,
We all don’t have a clue,
Then why am I programmed from birth,
To hate the site of you?

We’re jumping ship,
So over the lonely nights,
And giving useful tips,
And oh I’m jumping ship,
I’m so over,
The useless hate,
I refuse to live like this,
I’d sooner jump the ship,

Abby Kimball
