Grifter Swifter

The captain wasn't the captain, to begin with

Beggin' for orders

To reach unfamiliar borders

When the ship starts sinkin'

It is wishful thinkin'

To separate the mice from the men

Spit and polish shoes

Lose again

Perpetual noose, my friend

Again and again

Rise like a phoenix, always, rise like a phoenix

I'm a doberman pinscher

Waiting to take over

Growl, howl, foul

On the messengers and chauffeurs

Too late to take these fangs

Insubordination claims the rank

I place the bet, you won the litter

I want my food I'm no quitter

Your salary is safe, jump from the path I paved

Chuckle, break the shackle

Ransack all

That are far from the slaves
