Verse 1 We welcome the night as black as our heart Can't see, don't want, never had a naval chart The thief's rule of law Is an appropriation bill We're the pirates of the Black Tide Sailors if you will
Verse 2 It's no birthday cake if you want our employ And to be like us is a mistake you will enjoy When pirates rule the seas The world's a better place We're the pirates of the Black Tide We're a wonderful disgrace
Chorus We're the mythical, pinnacle statement of Your worst-est dream or vocabulary word We're tyrannical, mechanical and people say That we smell like death, you can't take that away
Verse 3 Yes, we're your worst fear and we know where you hide We've hidden there before, we don't care how hard you've cried We're the bottom of the barrel When it comes to raising kids We're pirates from the North Pole We know just what you did
Verse 4 We have nightmares too, but we just call them dreams We've taken this yachting thing out to the extreme We're Type-A personalities, our therapy's a sword We're the pirates of the Black Tide We will not be ignored
Bridge We're the black-hearted, swashbuckled, never take a shower, Kind of guys obsessed a bit with fame and power We're deplorable, horrible, scull and cross-bone ridden Living on the ship where nothing is forbidden
Verse 5 Yes, we're your worst fear and we know where you sleep So tucky, tuck in I wouldn't sleep too deep We're the worst father figure Figure out how not to scream We're the pirates of the Black Tide Hope you have sweet dreams
