Nautical Terms

I speak in Nautical Terms, Nautical Terms!
My real dad was Blackbeard the Pirate
I speak in Nautical Terms that I learned in school
'Cause my dad was a used car salesman
I respond to minority groups and their concerns
I was a slumlord before I ran for Congress, man
I respond to minority groups and their concerns
While Humpty Dumpty builds a wall along the borderlands

No matter how much you struggle against the current
It pulls you farther out still
No matter how much you struggle against the current
The current always wins

I want to better the world, better the world!
Invest my conflict diamond fortune back in Africa
I want to better the world, control its moving parts
The phones they use to track us also give us cancer
Damn!

No matter how much you struggle against the current
It pulls you farther out still
No matter how much you struggle against the current
The current always wins

Into the flood again... Same old trip it was back then...

We could try and resist, but the seas will still rise, and the sun
Will scorch us in the end... Ain't very much hope in life to be found
Let's get high! It won't seem so important now...
When the wall ahead looks as solid as brick, one finger can prove
It's simply cream cheese, and all that matters right now is my
Impeccable style, I'm a death-defyin', lady-killin' son of a glitch...

Oh right! My smile, the artisan tool of pathological liars
Yeah, the giveaway's a faint but perceptible twitch

Shake a leg ye scurvy dogs! It's time to batten down the hatches!
Full to the gunwales boys, hard and fast! Hand over fist!
We're in the offing now, quick! Or we're dead in the water!
Loose th' cannons, or I'll turn ye to jetsam!
