Pain of hunger's growing stronger
The wages are gone, can't wait no longer

I have to sign on under every flag

If I want to live, I have to fag

Engaged I hit the sea
Never thought of mutiny

The work is hard, the pay is low

We're treated bad, our anger grows

The waterbarrels, going bad
Daily a sailor dies by fag

Whip cracks pain's their holy law

If they're going to far this means war

Stand up and fight

A seaman disobeys a law
The whip's cracks, flowing gore

He gets a hundred cuts, one too much

His death feeds our grudge

The waterbarrels, going bad
Daily a sailor dies by fag

Whip cracks pain's their holy law

If they're going to far this means war

With grinning looks, we precede
Revenge for the ones who'd bleed

Encircling bastards who killed

Their eyes show fear, they're thrilled
