A glorious shipwreck

I spent my life drifting
 To things that fall apart as soon as it gets hard
 We live without leaders, but now there's nobody to steer
 Captains go down with the ship, my friend, but there's no captains here
 There's no petition we can sign to end poverty
 Or to make "no" a word with teeth
 I know there's not enough windows on this planet to break us free
 But maybe one will be just enough for some dignity
 Just do the dirt and walk away and don't say shit
 My momma didn't raise no snitch
 If anybody asks, well then I've never heard your name
 No rest for the wicked till we've crossed the state
 And common decency may drag us through a prison cell
 Basic goodness take us to hell
 But since we'll all return to dirt
 Let's bring some stories for the worms
 We don't know when
 But the days will come again when their courts can't hold us in
 We'll stand our ground no matter how many police appear
 Captains go down with the ship, my friend, and we're all captains here
 And just for a moment, we were all captains then
