Lyrics

As I look into the world, I'm coming looking to a soul
Said I'm looking for a way to float rough waters down below
But she's a boat, and I can't float, when I board the seafaring lady
That's when they made me the first mate and made my ship Equality
And I ain't got my friends, and that's all I need
I don't need no motherfuckers who were living to mislead
And I ain't need my friends, and that's all I need
Someone made me the first mate, I'll sail her 'til she's free
Said she goes (she goes, she goes, she goes)
And I'm not crazy, you're the one who's crazy
Maybe you should visit an institution
If you wanna realize, advancement never came
From a hateful group of motherfuckers raining on parades
And history became a mystery
The moment that it started to repeat itself
If you wanna realize, there is a few to blame
But don't be part of a never-ending cycle that's the same
As I look into the world, I'm coming looking to a soul
Said I'm looking for a reason not to give up on the world
And when I see the way she comes, the same way that she goes
I made up my decision to descend upon the world
And I ain't see the end, and that's all I see
When I think the timing is right, united state of intermix
And I see the end, is all because of you
I'm gonna rock my little look in the name of piracy
And I'm a little loaded, might've took one to the brain
Or maybe I should keep my songs to myself
If you wanna realize, my shipmates aren't ashamed
'Cause they got roots without a soul and a skipper without a brain
And I'm sorrowful that this world's so beautiful
Or maybe you should visit unfamiliar lands
If you wanna realize why my bank appoints
What's the first mate that uses voices
While our ship won't sink in pain
And I'm not crazy, you're the one who's crazy
Maybe you should visit an institution
If you wanna realize, advancement never came
From a hateful group of motherfuckers raining out parades
