I repeat ; this is a stress call!
*S.O.S.*
Y'all I NEED to stress this!

*S.O.S!* Call your grandmother!
*S.O.S!* Call your mother!
*S.O.S!* Call your brother!
*S.O.S!* Call your lover!

There's something happening & y'all are captaining!
Peep the tide, ride the wave and help us hold down the helm!
Y'all, we're not wrecked, stranded or wretched anymore; this is
SOME OTHER SHIP and we know how to navigate it!

So thank your heroes & leave your enemies stranded & abandon:
(S.O.S.)
We have no time for B.S. on deck!
This is SOME OTHER SHIP!

So scream! Land ahead!
Scream to a New World!
To our Holy-day!
Our Hanukkah; Our independence!
Our FUCK A 40 acres; I'm TAKIN' 400!
*1 FOR EACH YEAR*

All praises due to our masses, our captains, our northern stars and life savers!
*(S.O.S.)* - y'all always been on some other ship
So crew; set your fiscal sails in motion, steer that flesh machine and check your spiritual compass!
Get ready & come sail away with us on...
S.OME O.THER S.HIP!
