Boat Builders - A Wilhelm Scream

Phone it in again another in bank

I'm spoiled by the riches

I had a line to remember

And I wrote it in the sand

Tried to go get it

But the tide swooned

We are the lucky ones

We ain't got it so bad

Baby you go all in

Sometimes you win

You bet

We are the noise makers

The modern wayfarers

Here be no guts no glory

There be no guts no glory

Tell me why'd I wait so long

To break these chains around me

We share without knowing

Screams soaring in every direction

We sweat like boat builders

And marvel at our work

Smiling at the imperfections

We are the lucky ones

We ain't got it so bad

Baby you go all in sometimes you win

We will get up to get down

Keep the faith sing loud

We are the noise makers

The modern wayfarers

Here be no guts no glory

There be no guts no glory

Tell me why'd I wait so long

To break these chains around me

Why'd I wait so long to break these chains

Give them our regards out there

Tell them we'll be back again

New Bedford bury me somewhere near you

Smiling at the imperfections

As they disappear over the horizon

From Rain City to Gainesville we ran

Then back to Melville again

With whiskey-soaked tales

Half-forgotten

Still in the bottle at the bottom

Tell me why'd I wait so long

To break these chains around me

Why'd I wait so long

To take the reins of my life

Why'd I wait so long

To break these chains

Why'd I wait so long

To take the reins

We are the noise makers

The modern wayfarers

Here be no guts no glory

There be no guts no glory here

I've been guilty I know it believe me

I admit I've been bored

I've been lazy

Down and out on Cherokee Street

Give our regards

To them 'til we return again

New Bedford

Bury me somewhere near you

Somewhere near you
