Lyrics
Turns out, I never had a thought at all 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 What a shame
Oh captain, my captain You've been drinking What happened? I've been slurring my cadences And blacking out when I stand I know all about your son Who never did return from the war But there's poison in that bottle, I tell you
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Tell the tower I've been hijacked Tell the gunman this vehicle's been stolen I'm coming out with my hands in the air I'm coming out with my hands in the air
(This is not my voice What you are hearing is not me)
There's been a horrible mistake I'm a proud, god-fearing, registered democrat This is all an elaborate scheme And it'll be cleared up when the governor beckons for me He'll clear my name It appears that the inmates have overrun the asylum There's a madman at the wheel There's a madman at the wheel 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 the sinking ship
Let the rats orchestrate the new mutiny
I'll meet you overboard I'll meet you overboard
