[Intro]
Ship in the sky
Docked on a rooftop
Straw on his head
Says
"Where did the blue stop?" (huh?)
[Verse 1]
Luffy hit the pavement
Said
"This ain’t a sea"
Zoro squintin’ at the towers
"Where the currents be?"
Nami on her phone
Scrollin’ through the names
Sanji lights a smoke
Sees the headlines change
Robin on the documents
Hands on every page
History in folders
Locked behind a gate
Too many kids as numbers in a line
She whispers
"All this horror
Buried in a file"
Chopper sees a corner
Teeth all cracked
Little baggies by the grate
Ticking hearts off track
Usopp tries to joke
"Must be cursed snow"
Kid shivers on the curb
Says
"It’s colder than you know"
[Chorus]
Straw hats in a frozen world
Watchin’ hearts get sold and burned
They say "that’s just how it goes"
Luffy says
"I don’t think so"
Name in ink
Life in chains
White on the table
Money on pain
They shrug
"that’s just how it goes"
Luffy screams
"I don’t think so" (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Brook hears sirens sing like a dying choir
Franky scans the city
Wires spitting fire
"System built on secrets
Profit from the weak"
He taps a broken streetlight
Says
"Hear that concrete speak"
They read about the island
Private little hell
Rich men walkin’
Kids who never tell
"Suicide" in quotes
Cameras blink and fade
Nami grips the paper till the ink runs gray
Sanji feeds the hungry by the busted store
Old man shakes
Glass dust in his pores
Chopper checks his pulse
Eyes wide
So scared
"Why they treat their bodies like they never cared?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Robin says
"This story’s older than the sea"
Names change
Same cruelty
But every age gets pirates of its own
Question is
Who cuts the throne?
[Chorus]
Straw hats in a frozen world
Watchin’ hearts get sold and burned
They say "that’s just how it goes"
Luffy says
"I don’t think so"
Name in ink
Life in chains
White on the table
Money on pain
They shrug
"that’s just how it goes"
Luffy screams
"I don’t think so" (yeah)
[Bridge]
Fists like thunder over glass and steel
He says
"If it hurts them
I don’t make deals"
Robin gathers copies
Spreads them to the wind
"Let the truth travel farther than the sin"
Kids on the corner see a stranger smile
Straw hat tilted
Eyes bright
Wild
"Someday you’ll sail far from this place"
He leaves ’em hope in a simple phrase
[Chorus]
Straw hats in a frozen world
Watchin’ hearts get sold and burned
They say "that’s just how it goes"
Luffy says
"I don’t think so"
Name in ink
Life in chains
White on the table
Money on pain
They shrug
"that’s just how it goes"
Luffy screams
"I don’t think so"
[Outro]
Ship in the sky
Smoke in the bay
They set a flag
And sail away
But the pages they touched still glow
In the dark where the secrets grow
Somewhere a kid looks up and knows
"I don’t think so"
