The Longest Johns - Mutiny Lyrics

We're contracted here in a rickety vessel, on an ocean so endlessly vast
Swore in the mess to state our dissension, and swiftly got tied to the mast
For the captain's a tyrant, and has not a care for anything under the sun
So untie me mates, we'll send him to hell, and plunder us 500 tonnes

Oh, mutiny, mutiny, lead on my friends
Mutiny, mutiny, don't look so tense
There's gold to be taken, we'll bathe in it when
We mutiny, mutiny, get to it then

A new dawn has risen, and with it our spirits, the chains have been cut from our feet
So pass out the grog, find my cup and fill it, and toast to our new liberty
All now together, we'll construct a plan to reap all we want of the sea
But someone must guide with safe, steady hands and maybe that someone is mm-me

Mutiny, mutiny, don't think so small
Mutiny, mutiny, answer the call
In brotherhood, sisterhood, for the long haul
It's mutiny, mutiny, good sailors all

Everything's perfect, just as I planned, and great things are coming, but still
A creeping sensation I feel in my bones, that somebody wishes us ill (is it Montgomery?)
Don't trust the mate, the cook, or the bosun, they dream to bend you to their will
Objectors must go, I cannot allow them to disrupt this Eden we've built
I see you over there behind the barrel

Oh, mutiny, mutiny turncoats are near
Mutiny, mutiny, nobody here
Can stomach a leader with vision so clear
It's mutiny, mutiny, just as I feared

I'm contracted here, on a rickety vessel, in irons in the galley below
The burden I shouldered so graciously was removed and so quickly bestowed
On a firebrand and knave with grandiose ideas, so different to those of my own
We'll see if it lasts, methinks I can hear the crew already starting to moan
Oh, here we go again

Mutiny, mutiny, chaos in spades
Mutiny, mutiny, every few days
A curse on the tyrant and all of his ways
But mutiny, mutiny, led us astray
Mutiny, mutiny, spreads like the plague
Mutiny, mutiny, join the melee
