Turns out I never had a thought at all
ย
I've been talking in my sleep
Reciting teleprompted anthems
A marionette strung tight
To the executives upstairs
I almost had myself convinced
That I meant everything I said
ย
What a shame
ย
O Captain! My Captain!
You've been drinking
What happened?
I've been slurring my cadences
And blacking out when I stand
ย
I know about your son
Who never did return from the war
There's poison in that bottle, โจI tell you
ย
Tell the tower I've been hijacked
Tell the governor this vehicle's been stolen
ย
I'm coming out with my hands in the air
I'm coming out with my hands in the air
ย
And the voice that you're hearing
Isn't me
The voice that you're hearing isn't mine
ย
There's been some horrible mistake
I'm a proud God-fearing registered Democrat
This is all an elaborate scheme and it will be cleared up
When the governor beckons for me
He'll clear my name
ย
It appears that the inmates have overrun the asylum
There's a madman at the wheel
There's a madman at the wheel
ย
We are not even remotely capable of keeping our heads about us
We've abandoned all semblance of presence
Dead bolted, buckled in
Keeping our word to a sinking ship
ย
Let the rats orchestrate the new mutiny
I'll meet you overboard
I'll meet you overboard
ย
