Captain

I've waited long
now it's my turn
to make these people
respect and learn
to pay attention to
my every word
i'll tend the flock
you'll be part of the herd.
I've spent my time
i've paid my dues
maybe someday you'll
be in my shoes
but until that day comes 'round
i'll be the pitcher
on the pitcher's mound
Calling the shots
throwing the curves
it's my pleasure
to get on your nerves
i love to be captain
of my own team
I've got no shame
i've just got pride
and that's the way
you'll treat me dignified
cause it's balance
that's in my command
maybe someday
you will understand
I will not move
i will not budge
there is no jury
only me as the judge
but it's not my job to care
the verdict's in
and it's, "life isn't fair."
Calling the shots
throwing the curves
it's my pleasure
to get on your nerves
i love to be captain
of my own team
