The United States Coast Guard
Upon the raging seas we sail
without a band playing
and no one to hail
we play hard, we work hard
with plenty of stories to tell
yes, we are the men and women of the
United States Coast Guard
Fighting the war on drugs
by land, sea, and air
it’s a responsibility
that we all must share
Flying on law enforcement cases
and saving lives at sea
it takes us to some really exotic places
that we thought we’d never be
So, ashes to ashes
and bust to busts
I think you will finally agree
that the seas belong to us…
