lirik lagu belly of the whale – the wages of sin
two hundred years ago, we put to sea
in a good ship, taut and free
put an end to tyranny
children of the lord
cargo was tobacco leaves
salted pork, collard greens
musket b*lls and bayonets
were buried underneath
the officers are madmen
the sail’s hangin’ rags
still we stand salutin’
before our tattered flag
ship is slowly sinkin’
beneath the howlin’ gale
but it’s safe and warm
in the belly of the whale!
the captain is a simpleton
he’s sailin’ for jerusalem
the soothsayеrs all tell him
that his course is true
cross thе waves to heathen lands
our bold [?] smallpox plans
jesus bless our victory
no matter what the cost
the officers are madmen
the sail’s hangin’ rags
still we stand salutin’
before our tattered flag
ship is slowly sinkin’
beneath the howlin’ gale
but it’s safe and warm
in the belly of the whale!
the talismans we held so dear
blackened by the tonnes of fear
pour their poison in our ear
their bellies fat with blood
the albatross around our neck
will drag us down into the depths
a thousand stinkin’ corpses
bobbing in our wake
the officers are madmen
the sail’s hangin’ rags
still we stand salutin’
before our tattered flag
ship is slowly sinkin’
beneath the howlin’ gale
but it’s safe and warm
in the belly of the whale!
