What Would Captain Picard Do

Lyrics

Stardate 42695.3 was a pretty big day for me
 I was given my first command
 But it turned out to be more difficult then I'd planned
 So I went to Riker and said "What if I fail?
 What if I freeze up with a Borg on our tail?
 What if the choice I make is wrong?"
 And Riker said to me "Wesley, give me break
 It's arrogant to think you'll never make a mistake
 But when you're in that position
 You only have to ask yourself one question"
 Oh, what would Captain Picard do?
 Oh, what would Captain Picard do?
 He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
 And then complete the mission
 And make himself a better person
 Bring peace to the galaxy
 And do it for free
 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
 I just woke up after three centuries
 And my first thought was of money
 Not that my family was gone
 But this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me
 That they'd abolished currency
 Everything I'd worked for was gone
 Yeah, there was nothing to withdraw
 I said to him "What do you invest in
 If you don't have big corporations?"
 He said "We invest in ourselves"
 And maybe I should try that out for myself
 Because that's what Captain Picard would do
 Yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
 He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
 And then complete the mission
 And make himself a better person
 Bring peace to the galaxy
 And he'd do it for free
 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
 Remember when he told us to remove the saucer section
 Even though we were at warp nine, there was no objection
 And yeah we could have killed the Borg using Hugh
 But we agreed with the Captain it was the wrong thing to do
 And I'd rather follow Dixon Hill, Private Detective
 Than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive
 And even after he was tortured for forty days and nights
 He told that Cardassian that there were still four lights
 And yeah when you're confused and the choice is too hard
 Just think of Captain Picard
 Just think of Captain Picard
 Think what would Captain Picard do?
 Yeah, what would Captain Picard do?
 He'd save the galaxy
 And he'd do it for free
 He'd protect the whole world
 And he'd still get the girl
 And he'd save the federation
 And earn the Klingon's admiration
 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
 Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
