Captain’s Code - Demo Version Lyrics by Joshua Turchin

2024

[Verse]
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
The fight will end if 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!
[Refrain]
Better obey, better obey, better obey
The Captain's Code
Better obey, better obey, better obey
Better obey the Captain's Code
[Verse]
If you sneak aboard a maiden fair
And cover her clothes and cover her hair
Your lover and you will be left bare
And to watch as we sail away
If we find you gamblin' for a price
And we've warned you once but 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 standin' down when the ship's at war
Then it's not our ship who you're fightin' for
When the war's over you get on your knees, boy, and pray
If you wanna be free then you better obey!
[Refrain]
Better obey, better obey, better obey
The Captain's Code
Better obey, better obey, better obey
Better obey!
[Bridge]
If a sailor steal's 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 we're dead
We all repay the debt we owe
By following the Captain's code
O-bey-y-y
[Verse]
And you don't keep secrets from your crew
Or lie about the things you do
We'll cry when we all learn it's you
Who broke the Captain's code!
(You 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!
[Refrain}
(Better obey, better obey, better o-
Better obey, better obey, better o-
Better obey, better obey, better o-)
Better obey the Captain's Code!
