By Air Or By Sea
Family is a battle of wills
An Armageddon before brunch
You took your chances now you pays your bills
Without a clue, without a hunch
In a litter of travel brochures
Somewhere there's a shining oasis
I'll tell ya how to get there from here
To the Land of Hospitable Faces
You can go by air or by sea
By carriage ride or by plane
Hoist the anchor of misery
For an island where it never rains
An island where it never rains
Work is the curse of the classes
The factory life never closes
Collecting all those bail-out passes
To labor under dreams of roses
Well, they'd work you 'til an early grave
They'd do that if you let 'em
Don't you be nobody's slave
Ditch your masters and forget 'em
If you go by air or by sea
By carriage ride or by plane
Hoist the anchor of misery
For an island where it never rains
An island where it never rains
