Captains All Lyrics by Aurelio Voltaire

Raised By Bats!

2014

[Verse 1]
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
Then I remembered 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
[Pre-Chorus]
I slipped on my finest suit
Shined up my pirate boots
Put a medal on my lapel
I thought of you and gave them hell
[Chorus]
We're captains 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
[Verse 2]
All of us have weathered through a storm
You know they say what doesn't kill you often makes you 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
You're still the dandy highway man that they're too scared to mention
And when you board you make us proud
It's "Admiral on deck!" and we're standing at attention
[Pre-Chorus]
I slipped on my finest suit
Shined up my pirate boots
Put a medal on my lapel
I thought of you and gave them hell
[Chorus]
We're captains 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
That's right we're captains all, we run this show
And we only sail where we want to go
If you have orders, oh
Keep them to yourself cause the only ones we follow are our own
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
We're captains 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
That's right we're captains all, we run this show
And we only sail where we want to go
If you have orders, oh!
Keep them to yourself cause the only ones we follow are our own!
[Outro]
Yo-ho, yo-o-ho-ho-ho
Oh, yo-ho, yo-ho-ho-ho-ho
Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho
Yoo-ooo-hoo
