My father he rides in your ships
But to see both sides of a quarrel

Is to judge without hate or love
And I know he would never mean harm
And you don't have anywhere to go
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And leave them to die in the cold

You take away homes from the homeless
The gypsy who begged for your presents
He will laugh in your face when you're old

And you don't have anywhere to go
Oh, oh, helpless and slow

Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
Another he drinks up his wine
And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
For those of a different kind
And you don't have anywhere to go

Oh, oh, helpless and slow

I'll be there at your side in the flood
It was all I could do to keep myself
When the rivers run thicker than trouble
>From taking revenge of blood

And you don't have anywhere to go
Oh, oh, helpless and slow
Oh, oh, helpless and slow

And you don't have anywhere to go
