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 until you've had enough
  But 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
  And politics in power
  That you don't understand
  You've no ripcord
  No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord
    The answer to your prayers
  We'll drop you anywhere
  With no ripcord
  No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord
