We didn't start the fire.

I can lead a nation with a microphone,

with a microphone,

with a microphone.

I can split the atom of a molecule,

of a molecule,

of a molecule.

I can guide a missile by satellite,

by satellite

by satellite

I can hit a target through a telescope,

through a telescope,

through a telescope.

I can end the planet in a holocaust,

Now as we stand before the gallows, waiting for the end,
I'll say these final words my friend.

At sunrise we will dance the hempin jig,
so raise up your pint of rum and take another swig.
The curse of Captain Morgan has lead us to this fate.
So have no fear and don't look back,
the afterlife awaits!
