As they wandered into the city
Cloaked in sheepskin with no pity
They're camouflage like Chameleons
And they setting up their signs of neon, oh my God
They're offering their hands of friendship
And yet trusting souls are theirs to keep
'Cause they're hiding behind oh yes their painted smiles
Distrusting you and I all the while
CHORUS (sang twice)
Pirates
See the wolves in sheep clothing
Pirates
Camouflage by dark skin
BRIDGE
Through history we've come to know it
Where the pirates stood in the struggle
Tools of the system, ism and schism don't you know it
To use and be use by the downpressors, you better believe it
So as they wandered into the city
Cloaked in sheepskin with no pity
They're camouflage like chameleons
And they're setting up their signs of neon oh my god
CHORUS
BRIDGE
So they're offering their hands of friendship
And yet trusting souls are theirs to keep
'Cause they're hiding behind oh yes their painted smiles
Distrusting you and I all the while
CHORUS
