Black Flag / White Flag
(by Eric Erdman)

Magellan didn't have John Glenn's rocket
Still he saw the others side of the world
He Wasn't the only one with the means
But he was the one with the huevos to let the sails unfurl

He knew you can
Hoist the Black Flag or Hoist the White one
There's no in between
Be willing to Keelhaul all in your way
Or be willing to let your dreams stay dreams

You don't think he woke up in a cold sweat?
With mutiny and scurvy on his mind.
Sure he did but he kept those thoughts to himself
Then stocked up on gunpowder and limes

He knew you can
Hoist the Black Flag or Hoist the White one
There's no in between
Be willing to Keelhaul all in your way
Or be willing to let your dreams stay dreams

Anyone who's ever chased a dream has come face to face with that shadowy bastard that tells em to quit
He's a smooth talking salesman
He's had a life time to perfect his pitch
Well I say while you're shaking his hand
Take advantage of the fact he's in your grip
Pull him in close and dig your dagger in his gut
Look him in the eye as you give it a twist

Yeah you can
Hoist the Black Flag or Hoist the White one
There's no in between
Be willing to Keelhaul all in your way
Or be willing to let your dreams stay dreams

Hoist the Black Flag or Hoist the White one
There's no in between
Be willing to Keelhaul all in your way
Or be willing to let your dreams stay dreams
