Ripcord

Soul destroyed
With clever toys
For little boys
It's inevitable, inevitable
It's a soul destroyed
You're free until you drop
You're free till you've had enough
And you don't understand
You've no ripcord

No ripcord
No ripcord
No ripcord

Aeroplane, do I mean what I mean?
It's inevitable, inevitable
Oh aeroplane
A thousand miles an hour
On politics and power that you don't understand
And no ripcord

No ripcord
No ripcord
No ripcord

The answer to your prayers
We'll drop you anywheres...
With no ripcord
No ripcord
No ripcord
