THE SHIP HAS SUNK AND HIT ROCK BOTTOM
WE PLAYED OUR PARTS NOT VERY WELL
SO IT HAS COME TO AN END

WE WANTED BLESSINGS AND WE GOT 'EM
BUT THERE'S NO SEQUEL
NO PART THREE FOR US TO ATTEND

SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN

IT'S GETTING CLOSE IT'S DRAWING NEARER
IT'S COMING DOWN HARD
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A BIG SURPRISE

AND AS I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
IT'S TOO LATE
TO SAY I'M SORRY TO APOLOGIZE

SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN

TAKE ME DOWN TO MY MAKER
HANDS PUT TOGETHER AND ON BENDING KNEES
IS THERE A WAY THAT I CAN BREAK OR ALTER THIS LOW DOWN DEAL

SO CUT US SOME SLACK NOW WOULD YOU
WE CAN'T BE TAKING IT BACK SO COULD YOU
GO EASY NOW ON YOUR OWN
