Green Day parody lyrics

Taking the Money on Board

For use with Take the Money and Crawl

(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)

I had a low life
Boy, it was a dull life
But not full of sickness
Can I go back to it?

And now I cut the line
Wondering how you did not die
Taking the money on board
I will do as I please when I’m on the sea
Taking the money on board

Why your greed for-souls?
They’re not legal tender
Why should I pay it?
Can I just give gold?
You want me to be a-ship wreck
But even as you make me sick
(I) take the money on board
I have the protagonist’s luck
That I am always safe ****
Taking the money on board

And now I cut the line
Wondering how you did not die
Taking the money on board
I will do as I please when I’m on the sea
Taking the money on board
I have the protagonist’s luck
That I am always safe ****
Taking the money on board
I have the protagonist’s luck
That I am always safe ****
Taking the money on board
