The Captain

CAPTAIN, WHAT DO YOU THINK, I ASKED,

OF THE PART YOUR SOLDIERS PLAY?

THE CAPTAIN ANSWERED, I DO NOT THINK,

I DO NOT THINK, I OBEY!

DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD SHOOT A

PATRIOT DOWN & HELP A TYRANT SLAY?

THE CAPTAIN ANSWERED, I DO NOT THINK,

I DO NOT THINK, I OBEY!

DO YOU THINK YOUR CONSCIENCE WAS

MEANT TO DIE & YOUR BRAINS TO ROT AWAY?

THE CAPTAIN ANSWERED, I DO NOT THINK,

I DO NOT THINK, I OBEY!

THEN IF THIS IS YOUR SOLDIERS CODE,

I CRIED, YOUR A MEAN UNMANLY CREW,

AND FOR ALL OF YOUR EQUIPMENT, GUNS,

AND BRAID, I'M MORE OF A MAN THAN

YOU. FOR WHAT EVER MY LOT ON

EARTH MAY BE AND WHETHER I SWIM

OR SINK, I CAN SAY WITH PRIDE-

I DO NOT OBEY-I DO NOT OBEY-I THINK!
