Mutiny is a conspiracy among members of a group of similarly situated individuals (typically members of the military; or the crew of any ship, even if they are civilians) to openly oppose, change or overthrow an authority to which they are subject. The term is commonly used for a rebellion among members of the military against their superior officer(s), but can also occasionally refer to any type of rebellion against an authority figure.
During the Age of Discovery, mutiny particularly meant open rebellion against a ship's captain. This occurred, for example, during Magellan's famous journeys around the world, resulting in the killing of one mutineer, the execution of another and the marooning of others, and on Henry Hudson's Discovery, resulting in Hudson and others being set adrift in a boat.
Most countries still punish mutiny with particularly harsh penalties, sometimes even the death penalty. Mutiny is typically thought of only in a shipboard context, but many countries' laws make no such distinction, and there have been very many notable mutinies on land.
[Sage]
Friends....How man does Sage have now?
Let me count 'em down with one hand
Thought we'd atleast keep peace we've been growing
change together
Instead I'm Strange forever
Who's Sage he ain't too clever
Perverted introvert who gets hurt in rainy weather
Rearrange his brain and make the pain get better
The dungeons of his dome gots whips, chains, and
leather
Cold souls get blacker, blood stains get redder
Shame on whoever
Foils is the ranged endeavor ??? didn't agree with the
outcome but complaining never
Its all about me concentrating on the meta-physical and
spiritual
Whats her name, forget her, but uh
Didn't take too much for me to remember don't ever
expect to be apart of my daily agenda
I wont expect a letter come the month of November
If it happens then it happens, and uh, I let you enter
at your own risk
Back into my life from the mutiny - stupidly - you gave
up on you and me
[Hook]
Me and you might reunite
But it wont be tonight
Cause I don't really need you right
Keep your weak crew tight
Cause as we lose light I still have the ability to see
true sight
Me and you might reunite
But it wont be tonight
Cause I don't really need you right
Keep your weak crew tight
Cause as we lose light I still have the ability...
Some say it ain't cool what I say
Cool, is what I say to helps me keep my cool
Anyway I be a fool
Till the day that I die say friends of mine
Others say I have the most genius mind until the end of
time
Both sides are correct on being incorrect
They'll agree to disagree upon my intellect
When you intersect parallel lifelines
You create angles which mangles up the nice time
I'm quite calm when you consider the mean
Meaning the average, because my savage personality is
unseen
One's dream is everyone else's nightmare
I'm sick of cheating souls who wanna battle, don't
fight fair
I'm like where, right here
Right when, right now
Right why, cause I'm not the type to lie
Now let me wipe my eye, cause I don't like to cry in
public
Try to object but you can't defy the subject
Wipe off your girl's lipstick, then I hit quick
Cause mental ??? bitch
This kid's slick
That ain't nothing but is it
Making life or death decisions in an instant when I
think quick
Think fast when I cock back my pen and let the ink
blast
Filled with ever floats your boat ???
You'll be back again
Acting like my friend
Until then, talk shit
[Hook]
See I'm trying to live a dream
While my dreams are reality based
Your mentality
Strictly on a salary chase
You just a charity case
Begging for some sort of flattery, assault and battery
You think you madder than me
You think you madder than me
Lets here you say stuff
Stay tough, you trying to be sand paper but you ain't
rough
Get your paint buff cause now I'm editing your
lettering
You better bring a muzzle cause you never should have
said a thing
Unsettling, emotional, rollercoaster you wish now we
were closer
That ain't bout to happen
Back in the day we used to hang out
You shout my name out but now we ain't down
So don't claim clout
You on a lame route shouting "MUTINY"
You, yourself, and you, me, myself, and I
You and me. me and you might reunite
But it wont be tonight
Cause I don't really need you cracka, yo I don't need
I don't really need you cracka
I don't need you, I don't really need you

And the Blue bird over my head
is waiting for the sea to dry
And the farmer standing on the bridge
is hoping that the fish will fly
And the boat on the bay
is waiting for the cloud to cry
Mutiny
On Sailboat Bay
Mutiny
So far away
And the cannibals are waiting on the edge
to eat the meat that they can smell
And the monkeys standing in line
can do the two step very well
On the gang plank one at a time
A story for the waves to tell-about
Mutiny
On Sailboat Bay
Mutiny
So far away
With the ice man cooling the wind
the coastline can't be very far
With the shore man rowing behind
We'll find our way beneath the stars
But the captain sat there and grinned
and he set the sail for Shangrila
Mutiny
On Sailboat Bay
Mutiny
Pain of hunger's growing stronger
Wages are gone, can't wait no longer
Have to sign on under every flag
If I want to live, I have to fag
Engaged, I hit the sea
Never thought of mutiny
Work's hard, the pay is low
Treated bad, our anger grows
The water barrels going bad
Daily a sailor dies by fag
Whip crack pain's the holy law
They're going far, this means war
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Seaman disobeys a law
The whip cracks, flowing gore
He gets a hundred cuts, one too much
His death feeds our grudge
Engaged, I hit the sea
Never thought of mutiny
Work's hard, the pay is low
Treated bad, our anger grows
Water barrels going bad
Daily a sailor dies by fag
Whip cracks pain's the holy law
They're going far, this means war
Water barrels going bad
Daily a sailor dies by fag
Whip cracks pain's the holy law
They're going far this means war
With grinning looks we precede
Revenge for the ones who bleed
Circling bastards I suggest
Brighten one falls unto ego temptations,
then it corrupts his wisdom and splendor.

Strong in the arm and strong in the head

I found my love between your knees!
Mutiny, mutiny
Let's take the ship with a mutiny
Avast ye swabs and clean the decks
All god's children and scalawags
Ship to sea and ship to shore
I had a salty girl in every port
To live beyond the law you gotta be honest
To live beyond the law you gotta tell the truth
To live beyond the law you got to be honest
To live beyond the law you gotta tell the truth
This city's on steroids, it's pumped up and wild
You're never so lonely than when you're a face in the crowd
Finger on my pistol I'm going to explode!
Mixed agendas
You've got the right to remain defenseless!
Trained not to think
Patriotic?
Gun, and a badge and you've got a fascist!
Slaves, to the kings
Wave your flag
Now, everyone swears that they stand for something
I'll never see
All you're lying
You think by simply hiding it changes?
I've reached my brink
No, is the word you understand?
No is the word you fear!
No, is the word you'll comprehend?
So No is the word you'll hear
I've never really needed!!
I've never really cared!!
I've never really trusted!!
No one was really there!!
Everyone, can see?
Everyone, but me?
Shadow boxing
You bite the hands, that buy you your finance!
Numbers and ink
Politicians
Backing the top percent of the nation?
You're not in sync!
No, is the word you understand?
No is the word you fear!
No, is the word you'll comprehend?
So No is the word you'll hear
I've never really needed!!
I've never really cared!!
I've never really trusted!!
No one was really there!!
Why!
Everyone, can see?
Everyone, but me?
Propaganda
The truth has emerged, the lies are retracting!
Your time is done
Compensation
Don't wanna change!
But we're gonna change it!
Under the gun!!!
I’ve had enough, you have no leverage.
I’ve watched you haemorrhage the goodwill of your crew.
Now your full moon is waning,
your control is slowly draining away.
Your stale old ways bred hate and discordance.
Your brutish arrogance has left you powerless.
At the end of our tether, we are getting it together.
So relinquish the tiller, it’s gone way too far.
Non serviam! – this is mutiny!
We will not stand for your ascendancy!
No more blind obedience!
Your kin is headed straight for obsolescence!
Now you’ll know how it feels to be a slave.
You’ve dug your own wet grave refusing to behave
in the style that’s repected by the wealthy and protected!
Like your gentlemen idols you’ve sunk way too deep.
Non serviam! – this is mutiny!
We will not stand for your ascendancy!
No more blind obedience!
Your kin is headed straight for obsolescence!
Damn you sir, and damn your etiquette!
The blood red moon has set and you’re not here for long!
I’m no gent, but don’t take me for a fool,
I serve no master and I won’t obey your rules!
You’re a thief and taker!
You’re a cheat and faker!
To the devil with your soul!
We ventured to find the hollow earth
"Donna Everywhere" by Too Much Joy
From the album, "Mutiny"
I met her at the movies, she was there on her own
A bargain matinee
Theater deserted, she sat right next to me
Can't remember what played that day
She leans, real near
She whispers in my ear
I blink, she grins
I choke on my M&M;'s
The lights went down
That lion roared
Donna got down on the floor
Losing my mind, but I don't care
I see Donna everywhere
Down by the lakeside, in a lawn chair
Donna, Donna everywhere
She agreed to move in, but my dog made her sneeze
So I gave the dog away
Should've kept the dog, given her to my friend
Cause he took her anyway
Those lips, those eyes
That tattoo on her thigh
White teeth, red hair
She hated underwear
Is this real
Or in my head?
Donna's dancing on my bed
Losing my mind, but I don't care
I see Donna everywhere
Down by the lakeside, in a lawn chair
Donna, Donna everywhere
Mutiny, like disease laughing loud again
Mutiny, sadly breathes turn and dance and spin
What's that boy you're getting tired, that's not in the plan
What's that girl you're making way, for the garbage can
Once again for the last time
Once again you see
I know it's gonna happen inside
I know it's gonna come to free
Mutiny, what'd you think is it doing well
Mutiny, I can see after all is dead
Play the game don't compromise, tell it understand
Get off!
Baby, when U went away
U stayed away 2 long
Baby, what can I say?
No one does me wrong (And gets away with it)
Mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U gotta take a little trip
I'm talkin' mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U should've been a little more hip
Now baby, when U talk 2 me
U don't have much 2 say
Baby, why can't we be
Lost in love like yesterday?
I'm talkin' mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U gotta take a little trip
I'm talkin' mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U should've been a little more ...
Darlin', darlin' with unity
Huh, no one, but no one could make us fall
Darlin', now there's mutiny
Huh, maybe U should have called
Get off! {x2}
Mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over, huh
U gotta give up the ship
U gotta take a little trip
I'm talkin' mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U should've been a little more ...
Get off! {x2}
Baby, U treated me
Like some unwanted child
Baby, it's all over now
I loved U all the while
I'm talkin' mutiny!
I said I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U gotta take a little trip
I'm talkin' mutiny!
I'm takin' over
U gotta give up the ship
U should've been a little more ...
Get off! {x4}
Vogue
All the way vogue {repeat 2 fade}
(Say it y'all)
([U know I'm bullshittin', I'll keep it all])
(Morris, did U give?)
([Miko], did U give?)
stick to your guns
we're not the fortunate ones
good thing come to those who wait
rotten stalemates till we're done
general discontent is given
general discontent is slowly livin'
[Chorus]
mutiny on the bound
lost nor found
i see it in your eres
i know its still there
i think i hit my zombie mode
where pain is felt no more
i've run amok but my ship still sails on
one way ticket to the nowhere land
[Chorus]
Fuck the memories.
We're dead at every turn.
So spin your fucking shit and we'll die with every twist of tongue.
Your hollow gaze has shifted past my eyes.
Another dead face fades away.
Now what's left to take?
Another day I regret your memory.
In my mind you will never be more that this.
So what's left to fucking take?
Now my trust is gone.
As your world comes crashing down I'm going to watch it fucking burn.
Everything we had lies in pieces.
Everything we had fucking dies... tonight.
Through those deceiving eyes I've seen the blackest heart.
The blackest heart.
The captain he decided we’d all go ‘round the horn
In that fateful moment a hatred it was born.
The trip was truly awful with the sleet and hail and
wind
And by the time we turned back we’d lost 14 men
With that act the captain had lit a deadly spark
That would sit and smolder waiting in the dark
Before you lay your judgment please hear our story
through
And you’ll see there was just one thing we could do
Mutiny! ...Mutiny!
The futile try it added almost four weeks to our trip
And when we hit the islands we just wanted off that
ship.
Exotic natives greeted us, girls beckoned from the
beach
Our captain he decided a cruel lesson he would teach.
The captain said “now look here lads, your attitude’s
quite poor
And for your bitter discontent you’ll not step foot on
the shore.”
So aboard our ship we sat as the forbidden plot took
shape
We knew when that word was spoke that there’d be no
escape from…
Mutiny! ...Mutiny!
We all knew the risks when we lit that fuse
But from where we stood we had nothing left to lose
The crew had reached their limit, the captain crossed
the line.
And the crew all stared that icy stare, ‘cause we knew
it was time for
Mutiny! ... Mutiny!
Three long hellish weeks we waited, anchored in the bay
And cursed the captain’s officers as they went ashore
each day.
And when the captain finally said “It’s time the sails
were set.”
Off we sailed dreaming of girls we never met.
“Now we’ll make a second run to the horn” the captain
said
But we knew that we would choose a different path
instead
All that day we waited till the sun was setting low
And in the blood-red darkness were whispers down below
Mutiny! ...Mutiny!
The officers were the first to go, they went down one
by one
As we approached the captain’s door, we were nearly
done
The crew took all his weapons, but we gave him time to
dress
When he was done, we bound him and threw him with the
rest.
Those that chose to join us we let stay on through the
trip
The rest got tack and old salt beef and booted off the
ship
They wanted the Horn so desperately, so we left them to
the sea
And sailed back to that island to take a sailor’s ease
from
Mutiny! ...Mutiny!
We all knew the risks when we lit that fuse
But from where we stood we had nothing left to lose
The crew had reached their limit, the captain crossed
the line.
And the crew all stared that icy stare, ‘cause we knew
it was time for
Mutiny! ... Mutiny!
Now we stand before you knowing of our chosen fate
And now you know the cruelty of the story we relate
Goin’ round the horn again we knew there was no hope
So we chose a little pleasure and our end here from a
mutiny!
this is a full blown assault. a cannon blast to mark your fall.
take back your discipline now. this is a genuine revolt.
superior, you are inferior. we've risen like we've never risen above before.
conformity has no authority. i can agree to compromise.
contemptible are your contracts. i will find the line and cross it every time.
contemptible are your labels.
this is a full blown assault.
take back your discipline now. this is a genuine revolt.
i am far from, so far from romanced.
there's too much business in this.
i'm going back to my garage. i have been completely disenchanted.
turn my amp up to eleven. six nickel wound strings have saved me again.
suits and ties are not to congregate in my sanctuary judged only by my hands.
down here is our time. it's innocent. it is so divine.
our music: rewrite not a single line.
down here is our time and we will shine.
our music: making wishes on your dime this time.
heroes have betrayed. we sing for better days.
don't sign our lives away to impure industries.
you're going under. we have come to take it over.
so sound the thunder. we have come to take it over now.
sign our band and we'll write you a chorus.
we will use your gimmicks if you think they will sell us
'cause we won't survive without your acceptance.
can we be friends?
can we be friends?
friends? mutiny!
in this vast network of sharks and minnows,
where the minnows outnumber the sharks a million to one,
why is it that we have yet to converge?
to take on the upperhand?
why have we been so scared?
well not today. not anymore. this is us growing up.
still young, but no longer impressionable.
we have come to pillage.
we have come to burn.
we have come to incite the riot.
we have come to take it over!
heroes have betrayed. we sing for better days.
