Porto Limon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh captain, my captain Oh, who is my captain? Can it be that nobody is at the helm? Can they dare call it reason In the growing treason That the king has somehow abdicated his realm? [Chorus] Will they fall from the sky in the black of the night? Will they crawl through the jungle at dawn? Will they put in in the west down at Puntarenas Or in the east at Porto Limon? [Verse 2] I signed on in my youth Thinking there was but one truth That this mission was sent for a merciful good But when the port came in view Came a far darker hidden truth That the cargo of business was understood [Chorus] Will they fall from the sky in the black of the night? Will they crawl through the jungle at dawn? Will they put in in the west down at Puntarenas Or in the east at Porto Limon? [Verse 3] Or they'll come through the banks And the right-wing think tanks Multinational only means the people they cry For in the face of the reaper You know the people work cheaper Keep a tight grip and squeeze all the freedom dry [Chorus] Will they fall from the sky in the black of the night? Will they crawl through the jungle at dawn? Will they put in in the west down at Puntarenas Or in the east at Porto Limon? [Verse 4] Oh captain, my captain (Oh captain, my captain) Oh, who is my captain? (Who is my captain?) Can it be that nobody here is my friend? For this history lesson We will pay in aggression That in business the means justify the ends [Chorus] Will they fall from the sky in the black of the night? Will they crawl through the jungle at dawn? Will they put in in the west down at Puntarenas Or in the east at Porto Limon?
