Captain's Code - Demo Version
Every free man has the right to vote
On any affair given on our boat.
If a man votes wrong then we slit his throat
Cause he broke the captain's code.
If a limb is lost, then a man will beg
To cover the cost of his own right leg.
If the money's lost, he'll be shot instead
Cause he broke the captain's code.
And you don't fight back if they cut your hand,
Every man's fight is left on land
And the fight will end when blood is drawn
No matter who dies, we sail at dawn.
Clean up your mess and thank god you survived one more day.
If you wanna be free, then you better obey.
Better obey, better obey, better obey the captain's code.
Better obey, better obey, better obey, better obey the captain's code!
If you sneak aboard a maiden fair
And cover her clothes and cover her hair,
Then your lover and you will be left bare
And to watch as we sail away.
If we find you gambling for a price
And we've warned you once when you've gambled twice,
You'll be left no share but your cards and dice
And you'll watch as we sail away.
And you don't stand down if your crew gets caught,
And you don't stand down when your captain's shot.
If you're standing down when the ship's at war
Then it's not our ship who you're fighting for.
When the war's over, you get on your knees, boy, and pray.
If you wanna be free, then you better obey.
Better obey, better obey, better obey the captain's code.
Better obey, better obey, better obey,
Better obey!
If a sailor steals another's pay,
Then he'll be dead by the end of day.
If the money somehow disappears,
We slit his nose and cut his ears.
The captain keeps us safe and fed,
We serve the ship until were dead.
We all repay the debt we owe
By following the captain's code.
And you don't keep secrets from your crew,
Or lie about the things you do,
And cry when we all learn it's you,
Who broke the captain's code.
So, take your pistol, take your sword,
Get on your knees, pray to the lord
Cause someone's going overboard.
You broke the captain's code!
(Better obey, better obey, better o-)
(Better obey, better obey, better o-)
(Better obey, better obey, better o-)
Better obey the captain's code!
On any affair given on our boat.
If a man votes wrong then we slit his throat
Cause he broke the captain's code.
If a limb is lost, then a man will beg
To cover the cost of his own right leg.
If the money's lost, he'll be shot instead
Cause he broke the captain's code.
And you don't fight back if they cut your hand,
Every man's fight is left on land
And the fight will end when blood is drawn
No matter who dies, we sail at dawn.
Clean up your mess and thank god you survived one more day.
If you wanna be free, then you better obey.
Better obey, better obey, better obey the captain's code.
Better obey, better obey, better obey, better obey the captain's code!
If you sneak aboard a maiden fair
And cover her clothes and cover her hair,
Then your lover and you will be left bare
And to watch as we sail away.
If we find you gambling for a price
And we've warned you once when you've gambled twice,
You'll be left no share but your cards and dice
And you'll watch as we sail away.
And you don't stand down if your crew gets caught,
And you don't stand down when your captain's shot.
If you're standing down when the ship's at war
Then it's not our ship who you're fighting for.
When the war's over, you get on your knees, boy, and pray.
If you wanna be free, then you better obey.
Better obey, better obey, better obey the captain's code.
Better obey, better obey, better obey,
Better obey!
If a sailor steals another's pay,
Then he'll be dead by the end of day.
If the money somehow disappears,
We slit his nose and cut his ears.
The captain keeps us safe and fed,
We serve the ship until were dead.
We all repay the debt we owe
By following the captain's code.
And you don't keep secrets from your crew,
Or lie about the things you do,
And cry when we all learn it's you,
Who broke the captain's code.
So, take your pistol, take your sword,
Get on your knees, pray to the lord
Cause someone's going overboard.
You broke the captain's code!
(Better obey, better obey, better o-)
(Better obey, better obey, better o-)
(Better obey, better obey, better o-)
Better obey the captain's code!
