Mutiny

Pain of hunger's growing stronger

The wages are gone, can't wait no longer

I have to sign on under every flag

If I want to live, I have to fag

Engaged, I hit the sea

Never thought of mutiny

The work is hard, the pay is low

We're treated bad, our anger grows

The waterbarrels going bad

Daily a sailor dies by fag

Whip cracks pain's their holy law

If they're going too far this means war

Stand up and fight

A seaman disobeys a law

The whip cracks, flowing gore

He gets a hundred cuts, one too much

His death feeds our grudge

The waterbarrels going bad

Daily a sailor dies by fag

Whip cracks pain's their holy law

If they're going too far this means war

With grinning looks we precede

Revenge for the ones who'd bleed

Encircling bastards who killed

Their eyes show fear, they're thrilled
