Captain Splendid

Nobody cares 'bout ocean affairs
 He's by himself 'cause nobody loves him
 Cleaning his sand filled boots with his hand
 Looking for something but nothing sees him
 ♪
 Happy was he in spite of his knee
 That wasn't there because of his day job
 There was a man who took to the band
 Paying attention tried to adhere him
 And he ran, and he shot, but his rivals were sharp
 And the kids in the sand struggled finding a plan
 ♪
 Seemingly fine, he sipped on his wine
 Terror was healthy, but not on a mission
 There was a sea, a mystical tease
 Our cannons were shot 'til we couldn't afford them
 
 Others would have died alone
 
 Angels all worked free
 ♪
 Timeless fairs and sing-alongs
 ♪
 Speaking naturally
 And he ran, and he shot, but his rivals were sharp
 And the kids in the sand struggled deep hand in hand
 All the way from the bay we can hear them say
 "All the time we were dead and I'm Captain Splendid"

 All the way from the bay I could hear them say
 "I don't care if we're dead, I am Captain Splendid"
