Aye Matey,
History repeating itself, now it's rob the 'Americans' or rob the 'English', take all their gold and their wealth.
Is that called
'Imperial' Piracy?
The 'real' pirates are holding us captive already.
I'm keeping one eye on the horizon
for the 'new' inland pirate prince, like a Robin Hood!
Who do you think best fits that description?

Always defending our rights and fighting the good fight!
LOOKOUT! These three pirates are armed and cunning!
