Mutiny

We're contracted here in a rickety vessel
On an ocean so endlessly vast
Swore in the mess to state our dissension
And swiftly got tied to the mast
For the captain's a tyrant and has naught to care
For anything under the sun
So, one-timey mates, we'll send him to hell
And plunder us 500 tons

Oh, mutiny, mutiny, lead on my friends
Mutiny, mutiny, don't look so tense
There's gold to be taken, we'll bathe in it when we
Mutiny, mutiny
Get to it then

A new dawn has risen
And with it our spirits
The chains have been cut from our feet
So pass out the grog, find my cup, and fill it
And toast to our new liberty

All now together we'll construct a plan
To reap all we want from the sea
But someone must guide with safe, steady hands
And maybe that someone is, hmm
Me

Mutiny, mutiny, don't think so small
Mutiny, mutiny, answer the call
In brotherhood, sisterhood, for the long haul
It's mutiny, mutiny, good sailors all

Ah, everything's perfect, just as I planned
And great things are coming, but still
A creeping sensation I feel in my bones
That somebody wishes us ill
Is it that guy?

Don't trust the mate, the cook, or the bosun
They dream to bend you to their will
Objectors must go, I cannot allow them to disrupt this Eden we've built
I see you over there behind the barrel

Oh, mutiny, mutiny, turn caution near
Mutiny, mutiny, nobody here
Consummate a leader with a vision so clear
It's mutiny, mutiny, just as I feared

I'm contracted here on a rickety vessel
In irons in the galley below
The burden I shouldered so graciously was
Removed and so quickly bestowed
On a firebrand and nave with grandiose ideas
So different to those of my own
We'll see if it lasts
Myth thinks I can hear the crew already starting to moan
Oh, here we go again

Mutiny, mutiny, chaos in spades
Mutiny, mutiny, every few days
The curse on the tyrant and all of his ways
But mutiny, mutiny, led us astray
Mutiny, mutiny, spreads like the plague
Mutiny, mutiny, join the melee
