Said the sailor to his mama as he readied his leave
"Mama, take just one more gift I've got up my sleeve."
She stared at what he gave her with no words to speak
"Are you sure?" she said. "Oh please, just let me take my leave."

He sailed off into the horizon
One look deep into his eyes and
You could see his philosophy

He said, "I don't believe in anything like that
That the better people are aristocrats
There are many good souls that go unnoticed
That would sink to the bottom of the charity list."

So why choose a soul to rise above all
When ones just as good may take the fall?
They may take the fall

He said, "I don't believe in anything like that
That the better people are aristocrats
There are many good souls that go unnoticed
That would sink to the bottom of the charity list."
I don't believe in anything like that
That the better people are aristocrats
There are many good souls that go unnoticed
That would sink to the bottom of the charity list

Mama looked down at what she had in her hand
Clenched her fist, her rejected religion
A silver cross her son had left behind
Scared away by a priest who claimed a corrupt high
The sailor looked his priest in the eye and he said

He said, "I don't believe in anything like that."
I don't believe in anything like that
I don't believe in anything like that
I dont' believe in anything like that

I don't believe in anything like that 7x
