The Muggles - On Account Lyrics

A young lad I was at time
Me mother a wench with a bottle of wine
No father in sight to keep me in line
I had my first drink at nine
That night they came ashore
"Attack!"
Laughing swordwielding maniacs
I knew right then it was meant to be
A pirate's life for me yes indeed

We're men of the sea this life be for thee
We pillage and plunder fueled by our greed
Scream and cower and run 'till no end
They fear us for we're free men

Surviving the onslaught that night
They took me aboard shackled me tight
The captain held my fate in his hands
Dead men tell no tales
Forced to clean and dragged through the muck
Beaten and tortured turned a drunk
Got my first notch saw red in the sea
A pirate's life me yes indeed

From sweeping the sand off the deck
To a savage butcher on the sea
Whisperings of mutiny
The crew grew weary and looked onto me
