stardate 42695 . 3 was a pretty big day for me
C G C
i was given my first command
C G C
but it turned out to be more difficult then i’d planned

C F G
so i went to riker and said “what if i fail?
G C Am
what if i freeze up with a borg on our tail?
C G C
what if the choice i make is wrong?”

C F C
and riker said to me “wesley , give me break
G Am
it’s arrogant to think you’ll never make a mistake
C G C
but when you’re in that position
C G C
you only have to ask yourself one question”

C G C
and do it for free

C F C
i just woke up after three centuries

and my first thought was of money
C G C
not that my family was gone

C F C
but this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me
G C Am
that they’d abolished currency
C G C
everything i’d worked for was gone
F G C
yeah , there was nothing to withdraw

C F G
i said to him “what do you invest in
G C Am
if you don’t have big corporations?”

F G C G C
even though we were at warp nine , there was no objection

F G C G C
but we agreed with the captain it was the wrong thing to do

F G C – G C
and i’d rather follow dixon hill , private detective
F G C G C
than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive

and even after he was tortured for forty days and nights
