Mutiny! Lyrics by The Jolly Rogers

Cutlass, Cannon and Curves

2006

[Verse 1]
Our captain he decided we'd all go 'round the horn
And in that fateful moment, a hatred it was born
The trip was truly awful, with the sleet and hail and wind
And by the time we turned back, we'd lost fourteen men!
With that act the captain had lit a deadly spark
That would sit and smolder, waiting in the dark
Before you lay your judgement, please hear our story through
And you'll see, there was just one thing we could do
Mutiny!
Mutiny!
[Verse 2]
The futile try it added almost four weeks to our trip
And when we hit the islands, we just wanted off that ship
Exotic natives greeted us, girls beckonеd from the beach
The captain, hе decided a cruel lesson he could teach
The captain said "Now look here, lads, your attitude's quite poor
And for your bitter discontent, you won't step foot on the shore,"
So aboard our ship we sat as the forbidden plot took shape
We knew when that word was spoke that there'd be no escape
From mutiny!
Mutiny!
[Chorus]
We all knew the risks
When we lit that fuse
But from where we stood, we had nothing left to lose!
The crew had reached their limits
The captain crossed a line
And the crew all stared that icy stare 'cause we knew it was time
For mutiny!
Mutiny!
[Verse 3]
Three long, hellish weeks we waited, anchored in the bay
And cursed the captain's officers as they went ashore each day
And when the captain finally said "It's time the sails were set,"
Off we sailed, dreaming of girls we never met
"Now we'll make a second run to the horn," the captain said
But we knew that we would choose a different path instead
All that day we waited till the sun was setting low
And in the blood-red darkness were whispers down below
Of mutiny!
Mutiny!
[Verse 4]
The officers were the first to go, they went down one by one
As we approached the captain's door, we were nearly done
The crew took all his weapons but we gave him time to dress
When he was done, we bound him and threw him with the rest
Those that chose to join us we let stay all through the trip
The rest got tack and old salt beef and booted off the ship
They wanted the horn so desperately, so we left 'em to the see
And sailed back to that island to take a sailor's ease
From mutiny!
Mutiny!
[Chorus]
We all knew the risks
When we lit that fuse
But from where we stood, we had nothing left to lose!
The crew had reached their limits
The captain crossed a line
And the crew all stared that icy stare 'cause we knew it was time
For mutiny!
Mutiny!
[Outro]
Now we stand before you knowing of our chosen fate
And now you know the cruelty of the story we relate
Going 'round the horn again, we knew there was no hope
So we chose a little pleasure and our end here from a rope...
