Mother, Mother Ocean I have heard your call I wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall You've seen it all You've seen it all Mother, Mother Ocean I have heard your call I wanted to sail upon your water Since I was three feet tall You've seen it all You've seen it all I watched the men who rode you Switch from sails to steam And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen Most of 'em dream But most of 'em dream Yes, I am a pirate A few hundred years too late The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder I'm an over 40 victim of fate Arriving too late Arriving too late Well, I've done a bit of smuggling And I've run my share of grass I made enough money to buy Miami But I pissed it away so fast It's not meant to last It's not meant to last Well, I have been drunk now for over two weeks I've passed out, and I've rallied, and I've sprung a few leaks But I gotta stop wishing, I gotta go fishing Down at rock bottom again With just a few friends With just a few friends Mother, Mother Ocean I have heard your call I wanted to sail upon your water Since I was three feet tall You've seen it all You've seen it all And I have been drunk now for over two weeks I've passed out, and I've rallied, and I've sprung a few leaks But I gotta stop wishing, I gotta go fishing Down at rock bottom again With just a few friends With just a few friends With just a few friends With just a few friends With just a few friends With just a few friends And just a few friends But just a few friends
