Ask the Captain Lyrics

God has gone and troubled the waters

He's freakin' out his sons and daughters

There's animal hooves on the State marauders

As my jasmine smile folds into tea

I came by the boots I wear honestly

I've been washing your feet for a few centuries

I was sidelined due to formalities

But Ma Teresa ain't got nothing on me

So go ask The Captain: How did this happen?

There's a serpent coiled around my feet

This will complicate the Meet and Greet

I make a Baklava that can't be beat

But you focus on negative things

I broke the stillness and gave birth to desire

I hold the patent for the invention of fire

Season of the Witch, season of The Wire

And now angels fall everyday

So go ask The Captain: How did this happen?

I gave an encore performance but no one was clappin'

Now I got to admit that hurt my feelings a bit

I's shown no empathy no matter how you slice it

Victims of tyranny, lies, and oppression

Are just profiles made by Smith & Wesson

And nobody wants to learn their lesson

Got an Oath to Keep to the Make Believe

Our foreign enemies got their feet on the desk

Domestic terrorist, too, but their IQ is less

Set it in motion and we'll take care of the rest

If you get Liberty, how many get death?

So go ask The Captain: How did this happen?

Go ask The Captain: How did this happen?
