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
