A Glorious Shipwreck Lyrics

I spent my life drifting to things that fall apart as soon as it gets hard. We live without leaders, but now there's nobody to steer. Captains go down with the ship, my friend, but there's no captains here. There's no petition we can sign to end poverty, or to make "no" a word with teeth. I know there's not enough windows on this planet to break us free, but maybe one will be just enough for some dignity. Just do the dirt and walk away and don't say s***. My momma didn't raise no snitch. If anybody asks, well then I've never heard your name. No rest for the wicked till we've crossed the state. And common decency may drag us through a prison cell, basic goodness take us to hell, but since we'll all return to dirt let's bring some stories for the worms. We don't know when, but the days will come again when their courts can't hold us in. We'll stand our ground no matter how many police appear. Captains go down with the ship, my friend, and we're all captains here. And just for a moment, we were all captains then.
