When I was a pirate
I went around the world
For my country's glory
And to earn a little gold

Now I have it made
Now they call me a Lord
And I won't hesitate
To convict any pirate in court

You know to win the game
You need to bend the rules
For it's plain to see
That they were made for fools

But if you get caught
You'll be severely dead
'Cause power at the top
Simply can never be shared

I'll erase the history
To make me look pristine
I'll silence all the witnesses
To anything obscene

When I was a pirate
I went around the world
For my country's glory
And to earn a little gold

Now I have it made
Now they call me a Lord
And I won't hesitate
To convict any pirate in court
