Reminds me of Nautical Disaster by the Tragically Hip.

"Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only

Anything that systematic would get you hated

It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated

The selection was quick, the crew was picked in order

And those left in the water

Got kicked off our pant leg

.........................................

Our conversation is as faint a sound in my memory

As those fingernails scratching on my hull"

I endorse the Tragically Hip.

Their farewell concert in 2016 was one of the most watched events in Canada that year, and estimates are that 1/3 Canadians were watching it. The broadcasting networks switched away from the Olympics. Not that the Canadian athletes minded, as they were watching it too.
