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 [bad word] 

Engaged, I hit the sea
Never thought of mutiny

With grinning looks we precede
Revenge for the ones who'd bleed
Encircling [bad word] who killed
Their eyes show fear, they're thrilled
