"The Trader Delusion"

(To "Land Of Confusion", Originally by Genesis, but I like the Disturbed version better]

I must have stopped a hundred trader schemes,
Laughed as I watched a thousand trader screams
And now I watch the trader fleet -
They're panicked, and in retreat!

Now, did you hear the news in gray?
They know that [VPR]'s gone away
But I can see their ships are burning bright;
They're running, fleeing in fright.

There's way too much cargo, and too many traders,
Making too many problems!
And not enough pirates around -
Don't you agree it's a dirty trader delusion?

This is the 'verse we live in
let's make the traders give in
Kill them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in...

Pirate friends, where are you now?
The traders got away somehow?
These trader dogs, these men who cower
Don't know that we're here to devour

So let's do the crime, let's give 'em chase
Oh, of that you can be sure!
But there's still not many pirates to be found -
Why do pilots believe the trader illusion?

This is the 'verse we live in
And this is a war that we'll win
Shoot them and they'll start dying,
The traders are takin' it on the chin...

I remember long ago
All the cargo crates were shining
Among the stars so bright, then came the blight
Of traders and their madness, moving cargo in the night
So long ago...

It's no longer time to be polite,
The [CLM] guild will put it right
You'll liberate the cargo - we insist!
And you know, we set cargo free.

Rip open their hulls, and liberate loads
I don't see - what's the problem?
There's so much credits to go 'round
Can't you see that's why we've reached our conclusion!

Now we say it's time to begin
Your stranglehold on trade we're breaking
We'll liberate your cargo - we're freeing
The cargo crates that we're fighting for

This is the 'verse we live in
And [CLM] has the power within
To stand up and keep on showing
Just where your cargo's going to...

See above..... or probably below ....

Ecka, och! What be yer point, lad?

Let me field this one, boss...

Buy a 'taur 3. Its just a mid range trade ship. Point. Shoot.

(with thanks to Azumi for remembering the importance of aiming)

Don't believe the lies! After they liberate your cargo, they re-incarcerate your liberated cargo into their badly driven moths and sell the poor crates to greedy rat stations for exorbitant prices, and leave the crates with crew who do bad things to the crates when no ones looking!

The cargo is set free to roam amongst the stars, as intended.

I'm not sure, I'm getting a mixed message here. How can we defeat greedy capitalist swine by joining a trade guild?

where do you get that clm is a trade guild. please atleast try to spew believable bullshit

BECAUSE CLM CAN ALSO MEAN CARGO MOVEMENT BUT WITHOUT THE L, AMIRITE LOL?

Waitaminute... I think Mecha was trying to be humorous, there?
I thought he'd lost his sense of humor long ago.

Nice one mecha!

Solrain forever.

If the shoe fits...

...join a cult?

....buy it!! :)

SEE. That is EXACTLY the kind of response I'd expect from a trader!

Well played...

At least there's less pirates whining that it is too hard to make a living as a pirate. I guess that'll come in a few months, seeing that we just recently had a bout.

Actually Mecha, its the response of a woman. pirate or not, no woman can resist going to buy shoes..

hmm.. women like to buy shoes.

I like women..

I SHOULD GO SELL SHOES!
woo
