The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything Lyrics


We are the pirates we don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anythingWell I've never been to Greenland, and I've never been to Denver
And I've never buried treasure in St. Louie or St. Paul
And I've never been to Moscow, and I've never been to Tampa
And I've never been to Boston in the fall'Cause we are the pirates we don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anythingAnd I've never hoist the main sail, and I've never swabbed the poop deck
And I've never veered starboard 'cause I've never sailed at all
And I've never walked the gang plank, and I've never owned a parrot
And I've never been to Boston in the fall'Cause we are the pirates we don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anythingOh, I've never plucked a rooster and I am not too good at ping-pong
And I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
And I've never kissed a chipmunk, and I've never gotten head lice

And I have never been to Boston in the fallPirate captains log 2002 who'll be this band Relient K
And why they'll be so full of contradictionsWe don't know what he did but we're down with Captain Kidd
We don't wake up before lunch but we all eat Captain Crunch
We don't smoke, we don't chew, we watch Captain Kangaroo{Ladies and gentlemen let's give them a big hand}We are the pirates who don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anythingWe are the pirates who don't do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anything

Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matt Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.

In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums. In 2004, John Warne, formerly of Ace Troubleshooter replaced Brian on bass guitar. In 2005,Jon Schneck joined on with additional guitars, as well as banjo, bells, and backing vocals. In 2008, Ethan Luck, formerly of The O.C. Supertones and Demon Hunter replaced Dave on drums.

The band has released 9 albums, including 2 Christmas albums, as well as 6 EPs, and some other miscellaneous projects. Starting in 2000 with their second album, Relient K was signed to Gotee Records, a Christian record label. In 2004, their album MMHMM shot them into mainstream popularity when it released at #15 on Billboard 200, and was released on Gotee, Mono vs. Stereo (both Christian record labels), as well as Capitol, a secular label. They stayed with Gotee/Capitol until 2007, and their album Five Score And Seven Years Ago released at #6. Their latest album, Forget And Not Slow Down was released in 2009 with Mono vs. Stereo. The band has done very well in both the Christian and mainstream music industries. The band has received numerous awards including a Grammy Award nomination in 2003 for Best Rock Gospel Album and two Dove Awards. The band has sold over 2 million records, with three albums being given gold certification by the RIAA.

The band's musical style has changed over the years, starting off as very pop-punk, and maturing into a unique sort of pop-alternative-rock, with many songs varying in style, and some including acoustic guitars, piano, banjo, synths, bells, etc. Through the years, their lyrics and songwriting have matured, but they have not lost their silly side and sense of humor. They still often reference their Christian faith throughout their songs.

Matt Thiessen, the band's main songwriter, also has a solo side project, Matthew Thiessen and The Earthquakes. He has also collaborated with Owl City. Dave Douglas also has a solo side project, Agnes.
