captain

lyrics

taste is a waste when you cannot vote
but the captain ain't listening
she tried to leave a post-it note
but the captain can't read a thing
high in the sky is a good year blimp
but the captain don't need attire
beg for a leg that doesn't limp
but the captain can't start the fire
blame is a game the adults play
but the captain will just sit out
caught in a knot since yesterday
but the captain can't twist and shout
I am the captain...

talk while you walk through the atmosphere
cause the captain don't have the time
show what you know and it will appear
but the captain thinks it's a crime
shame that your name was a ghost today
but the captain can't crack the whip
he tried to leave and make us stay
on board a sinking ship
but he is the captain...
