Captains All - Aurelio Voltaire

Long ago when I was just a lad

The other boys hated me said I made them mad

Guess I didn’t fit in with the norm

I’ll never know why people are so desperate to conform

And I remember something that you said

Those 9 words of yours stuck inside my head

You said «Prince charming: Ridicule

Is nothing to be scared of» so I took it as a rule

I slipped on my finest suit

Shined up my pirate boots

I put a medal on my lapel

I thought of you and gave them hell

We’re captain’s all!

And we run this show!

And we only sail where we want to go

And we live at ease doing as we please

Like Pirates drifting out at sea!

All fo us have weathered through a storm

Ya Know they say what doesn’t kill ya often makes ya better

We live to tell and carry on

After all, it’s nothing but a touch of nasty weather

Some of us are still around

And you’re still the dandy highway man that they’re to scared to mention

And when you board you make us proud

It’s admiral on deck!

And we’re standing at attention!

I slipped on my finest suit

Shined up my pirate boots

I put a medal on my lapel

I thought of you and gave them hell

We’re captain’s all!

And we run this show!

And we only sail where we want to go

And we live at ease doing as we please

Like Pirates drifting out at sea!

Thats right!

We’re captain’s all!

And we run this show!

And we only sail where we want to go

If you have orders, though

Keep them to yourself!

'Cause the only ones we follow are our own!

As for the ones whom we adore

Those of our friends who still are lost out in the storm

We raise a glass to you!

And leave on a light or two!

In case you ever make it home there’s always room on board!

Because we’re captain’s all!

And we run this show!

And we only sail where we want to go

And we live at ease doing as we please

Like Pirates drifting out at sea!

Thats right!

We’re captain’s all!

And we run this show!

And we only sail where we want to go

If you have orders, though

Keep the to yourself!

'Cause the only ones we follow are our own!
