Turns out I never had a thought at all
I've been talking in my sleep
Reciting teleprompted anthems
A marionette strung tight
To the executives upstairs
I almost had myself convinced
That I meant everything I said
What a shame
O Captain! My Captain!
You've been drinking
What happened?
I've been slurring my cadences
And blacking out when I stand
I know about your son
Who never did return from the war
There's poison in that bottle,
I tell you
Tell the tower I've been hijacked
Tell the governor this vehicle's been stolen
I'm coming out with my hands in the air
I'm coming out with my hands in the air
And the voice that you're hearing
Isn't me
The voice that you're hearing isn't mine
There's been some horrible mistake
I'm a proud God-fearing registered Democrat
This is all an elaborate scheme and it will be cleared up
When the governor beckons for me
He'll clear my name
It appears that the inmates have overrun the asylum
There's a madman at the wheel
There's a madman at the wheel
We are not even remotely capable of keeping our heads about us
We've abandoned all semblance of presence
Dead bolted, buckled in
Keeping our word to a sinking ship
Let the rats orchestrate the new mutiny
I'll meet you overboard
I'll meet you overboard
