It is captain I’ve been assigned,
Meaning your lives are mine,
Don’t whine,
Sweep the deck and make it shine,
Responsibility, I decline.

Is that nine shivers that ride up your spine?
No, it’s nine bullets that intertwine
Tearing holes into your physical design.

Deaths from battles are what statistics combine,
The only thing that runs though my mind is dollar signs.
The day I resign, I'll be the only to refine.
So hurry, grab your ammunition and form my line.
