Lyrics

Mutineer

[Verse 1]

Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum

Hoist the main sails, here I come

Ain't no room on board for the insincere

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

[Verse 2]

I was born to rock the boat

Some may sink, but we will float

Grab your coat, let's get out of here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

[Verse 3]

Long ago we laughed at shadows

Lightning flashed, thunder followed

They could never fight us here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

I was born to rock the boat

Some may sink, but we will float

Grab your coat, let's get out of here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer

[Verse 3]

Long ago we laughed at shadows

Lightning flashed, thunder followed

They could never fight us here

You're my witness, I'm your mutineer
