THE CENTURY OF PIRACY & PLUNDER
You sailed the seas against all flags,
Hid the cash in paper bags,
(All that glitters turns to lead)
Just in case you hadn't heard,
The golden fleece was not a verb,
(Now your hiding from the Feds...)
You had it all before the fall,
Now your back is to the wall,
(Your escape plan was short sighted)
The century of piracy and plunder
All the plots and schemes it seems
Now held in low esteem,
(Your about to be indicted)
Why create what you can steal?
Stack the deck, make the deal,
(Derivitives and plunder)
See the woman with the red dress on,
Gotta take it till your dead and gone,
Smoking Camels in the needle's eye,
Everybody wants a piece of the pie,
The fix is in, the word is out,
All the wages of sin in doubt,
Try the yoke of slavery on,
Before the offer is withdrawn,
See the woman with the red dress on,
Gotta take it till your dead and gone,
Smoking Camels in the needle's eye,
Everybody wants a piece of the pie,
Piece of the pie,
Piece of the pie,
The fix is in, the word is out,
All the wages of sin in doubt,
Try the yoke of slavery on,
Before the offer is withdrawn
Yo Ho Ho and a barrel of oil...
