이곡은 Grateful Dead의 From The Mars Hotel (1974)에 실려있는 곡입니다.
"Ship of Fools"는 문학이나 미술 등, 서구문화에서 오래전 부터 사용되어 오던 비유적 표현입니다. Ship of Fools는 이 세상과 이 세상을 살아가는 사람들을 자기비판적으로 비유한 표현으로 어디로 가는지 알지도 못하고 또 알려고도 하지 않은 미친 사람들이 타고 있는 배를 말한다고 합니다.
Went to see the captain
Strangest I could find
Laid my proposition down
I laid it on the line
I won't slave for beggar's pay
Likewise gold and jewels
But I would slave to learn the way
To sink ship of fools
Ship of fools
On a cruel sea
Ship of fools
Sail away from me
It was later than I thought
When I first believed you
Now I cannot share your laughter
Ship of fools
Saw you first ship sink and drown
From rockin' of the boat
And all that could not sink or swim
Was just left there to float
I won't leave you drifting down
But, whoa, it makes me wild
With thirty years upon my head
To have you call me child
Ship of fools
On a cruel sea
Ship of fools
Sail away from me
It was later than I thought
When I first believed you
Now I cannot share your laughter
Ship of fools
The bottles stand as empty
As they were filled before
And time that was in plenty
But from that cup no more
Though I would not caution all
I still might warn a few
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag
Atop no ship of fools
Ship of fools
On a cruel sea
Ship of fools
Sail away from me
It was later than I thought
When I first believed you
Now I cannot share your laughter
Ship of fools
It was later than I thought
When I first believed you
Now I cannot share your laughter
Ship of fools
