Sitting on a slab of rock
Singing songs with the other men who'd been caught
Planting bombs on the other ships who'd've thought
Cannonballs weren't meant as gifts
We let the flags fly
Closing in on the men screaming "God, Oh why!"
"Did I have to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?"
"Do I have to die? Do I have to die?"
[We're gonna to break out tonight because the sails have come into sight again!]
[We're gonna to break out tonight because the sails have come into sight again!]
We're gonna break out and find the heads of the men who deserve this instead!
Not saying I'm not a horrible man
There's people out there that do much worse than I can
And I'm not saying what I do is right
But there's much worse I can do with my life
We let the flags fly
Closing in on the men screaming "God, Oh why!"
"Did I have to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?"
"Do I have to die? Do I have to die?"
[We're gonna to break out tonight because the sails have come into sight again!]
[We're gonna to break out tonight because the sails have come into sight again!]
We're gonna break out and find the heads of the men who deserve this instead!
Oh yeah yeah!
Oh no no!
Oh kill me now!
