Verse 1
We welcome the night as black as our heart
Can't see, don't want, never had a naval chart
The thief's rule of law
Is an appropriation bill
We're the pirates of the Black Tide
Sailors if you will

Verse 2
It's no birthday cake if you want our employ
And to be like us is a mistake you will enjoy
When pirates rule the seas
The world's a better place
We're the pirates of the Black Tide
We're a wonderful disgrace

Chorus
We're the mythical, pinnacle statement of
Your worst-est dream or vocabulary word
We're tyrannical, mechanical and people say
That we smell like death, you can't take that away

Verse 3
Yes, we're your worst fear and we know where you hide
We've hidden there before, we don't care how hard you've cried
We're the bottom of the barrel
When it comes to raising kids
We're pirates from the North Pole
We know just what you did

Verse 4
We have nightmares too, but we just call them dreams
We've taken this yachting thing out to the extreme
We're Type-A personalities, our therapy's a sword
We're the pirates of the Black Tide
We will not be ignored

Bridge
We're the black-hearted, swashbuckled, never take a shower,
Kind of guys obsessed a bit with fame and power
We're deplorable, horrible, scull and cross-bone ridden
Living on the ship where nothing is forbidden

Verse 5
Yes, we're your worst fear and we know where you sleep
So tucky, tuck in I wouldn't sleep too deep
We're the worst father figure
Figure out how not to scream
We're the pirates of the Black Tide
Hope you have sweet dreams

We're the Pirates of the Black Tide
Hope you have sweet dreams
