and they lower the lifeboats
A
And hand out the life jackets,
E
the men keep on their coats
The women and the children are

Man the lifeboats if there's room,

And it's the same when there's a war
on: it's the men who go to fight

Men kill men in uniform,
A
When they run they're cowards,
E
when they stay they are heroes

Verse 5
E
It's the men who have the power,
B
it's the men who have the might

each man thinks he's right
A man's home is his castle so
A
But what's im portant in that kingdom
E
is the women and the children

But he's really just a drone,

Have pity on the general, the king,
and the captain

They know they're expendable,
A
E
after all they're men
