lyrics

MacDonnell Douglas DC 10-30

1979 Low flying
Low flying
and all the crew
and all the passengers
kind of lost their lives
0049
Greenwich meantime

Two degrees is not far wrong now
two degrees out and she'll be right
two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and the country's sinking
so they had an investigation
orchestrated a "litany of lies"
and they blamed it on the captain
with the perfect record, why?
when we know he didn't change the flight path
he wasn't told of the deviation
programmed into the computer
they didn't pass on the information

two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and she'll be right
two degrees out
is not far wrong now
two degrees out
give or take away
all their lives

big mountain
in the flight path
only high ground
continent of ice
if it was just one in a million
why did they have to cover up with lies
and on the day that they buried the captain
that they blamed fro the polar crash
somebody broke into his office
maybe stole a few vital facts

two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and she'll be right
two degrees out if not far wrong now
two degrees out
two degrees out
there's corruption in high places
government airlines
system abuse
who will guard the guardians
when they own the legal process too

two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and the country's changed
two degrees out what a huge disaster
two degrees out who's naming names
MacDonnell Douglas Dc 10-30
ZKNZP
1979 low flying
lest we forget
low flying
