Captain Jack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey this is Captain Jack

Do you really follow me into the light,
Drill instructor's on, drill instructor's on my side
Do you reall make commands of dynamite
Love and peace is our fight
All for one, come together friends - we have to take this chance
All for one, come together friends - we gotta take this chance tonight

Drill instructor tell me what to do
I'm your man, I will follow only you
See us making love all through the night
That's the reason my drill instructor loves to fight

Now sound off 1-2, bring it on up 3-4
Bring it on down 1-2, 3-4, 1-2, 3-4

We're running to the railroad track
run along with Captain Jack
badadadideido, run along with Captain Jack
run into the peacecamp back
run along with Captain Jack
badadadideido, badideido, dadideidideidideido,
badadadideido, left, right, right, left
badadadideido, run along with Captain Jack

Heyo Captain Jack
bring me back to the railroad track
give me a bottle in my hand
I want to be a drunken man
left, right, left
the military step,
the airforce rap,
the seventeen is the best
go left, go right, go pick up the step, go left, go right, go left

We're running to the railroad track
run along with Captain Jack
badadadideido, run along with Captain Jack
run into the peacecamp back
run along with Captain Jack
badadadideido, badideido, dadideidideidideido,
badadadideido, left, right, right, left
badadadideido, run along with Captain Jack

Soldier soldier don't look down -
There's no sixpack on the ground
Soldier soldier don't look up -
There's no whore, gone to pick you up

Soldier soldier don't look down -
There's no sixpack on the ground
Soldier soldier don't look up -
There's no whore, gone to pick you up

Overall Meaning

The song "Captain Jack" by Captain Jack showcases a marching tune that is accompanied by lyrics that reflect a longing for a less disillusioned world. In the song, the singer, who is addressed as "Captain Jack," leads the listener on a sprint toward a "peace camp," but the purpose of their journey is shrouded in ambiguity, as they also desire to be a "shooting man," a "drunken man," and a "fucking man" at different points in the song. The repetitiveness of the lyrics furthers the surreal, dream-like quality of the song, giving it an emotive core that allows for multiple interpretations.


It's possible that the song is meant to be a commentary on war and the false promises that motivated young people to enlist. The "peace camp" could be seen as a stand-in for the hippie movement of the 1960s, which was a direct challenge to the political and cultural establishment. Furthermore, the song's militaristic tone could be interpreted as a satirical critique of the glorification of war and nationalism.
