[Intro: Rou Reynolds]
Oh, how I long for a different story
From the one that we've been told
How I long for a different story
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
Shipwrecked!
[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]
Reading Genesis, their analysis?
We're animals
Fighting for ourselves, all the boys and girls
Are cannibals
We don't hesitate, we just dominate
It damages our minds
And now we think we're savages
[Refrain: Rou Reynolds]
This is what we're told
It's a stranglehold, it's a lie
(Look me, look me, look me)
Look me in the eye
This is what we'rе told
It's a stranglehold, it's a lie
(Lie, liе, lie, lie)
Look me in the eye
[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
Oh, how I long for a different story
From the one that we've been told
How I long for a different story
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Rory Clewlow]
Shipwrecked!
Will we ever get back alive?
Only living by the grace of God
Will we ever get off this island?
This island now
Shipwrecked!
Will we ever get back alive?
Only living by the grace of God
Will we ever get off this island?
[Refrain: Rou Reynolds]
(Look me, look me, look me)
Look me in the eye
This is what we're told
It's a stranglehold, it's a lie
[Breakdown: Rou Reynolds]
It's the Lord of the Flies!
Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies!
Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies! Flies!
[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
Oh, how I long for a different story
From the one that we've been told
How I long for a different story
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Rory Clewlow]
Shipwrecked!
Will we ever get back alive?
Only living by the grace of God
Will we ever get off this island?
This island now
Shipwrecked!
Will we ever get back alive?
Only living by the grace of God
Will we ever get off this island?
[Post-Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten, Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Rory Clewlow]
Get it! Go get it! Go get it!
Shipwrecked!
Shipwrecked!
How I long for a different story
This island now
Shipwrecked!
Will we ever get back alive?
Only living by the grace of God
Will we ever get off this island?
