Reworked from its original form known as "More Than A Mannequin", the band reworked it to fit a more pirate-theme as the chorus still had the same "Arrgh!" at the end of every two bars. Because of this, it comes off as more of a pirate anthem.
lyrics
Voiced our complaints to the top of the ladder
I heard they're dealt with by some tea-sipping mad-hatter
And with or without you, we're meeting in secret
Plotting the day we will bring him to his knees
He's on his last leg as it is, let's start this mutiny
The man in the crow's nest watches it happen
But he won't go down with those fools
An aura of safety follows the captain
He has the gold, he makes the rules
Our minds were set but our heads were uncertain
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
The intimidation, facade of a madman
And under the pressure of his feet, the eggshell cracks
Ready or not, the incubated plot begins to hatch
The man in the crow's nest watches it happen
But he won't go down with those fools
An aura of safety follows the captain
He has the gold, he makes the rules
If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown
If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown
If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown
Straddle the fence, neutrality to think
And knowing him he'll probably walk the plank
He'll walk the plank
The man in the crow's nest watches it happen
But he won't go down with those fools
An aura of safety follows the captain
He has the gold, he makes the rules
If this ship should go down, he'll be the last to drown
And knowing him, he'll probably walk the plank
