Fishie Out of Water

I can't believe they got you They've got you Falling On your knees They tied your hands and took Your hat When they stole you from Our hollow and Put our flags at half-mast But these flags still billow in the wind Because I know you're down, Not dead And I'll be damned if I know anyone Who could stop our Peter Pan They're just a bunch of pirates, Savage bullies out at sea You're just a Fishie out of water who Dared to try and take the lead They made you out To be their Tyrant And you'd much rather play their game Than die out of defiance When They could make you walk the plank I saw the sadness in your eyes As they taped over Your mouth I saw the way they beat you, just Because you were around And then They blamed you without Trial And they threw away the key. They Warped you to fit their politics And you became their Enemy I am the Lost Boy that you brought along To better represent our hollow But soon I was recruited as another puppet Come to play They played us well, and thought I wish I could I can't just walk away From The pirates that belittled you. I have No choice but to stay In their waters, you're a loner, but Their ship is not your Home We are held down by These shackles, but this is not where We belong You're a king among the Lost Boys So don't go drowning In their seas They're just a bunch of pirates, but You're still Peter Pan To me
