Hank Green - WWCPD lyrics

Stardate 42695.3 was a pretty big day for me I was given my first command But it turned out to be more difficult then I'd planned So I went to Riker and said "What if I fail? What if I freeze up with a Borg on our tail? What if the choice I make is wrong?" And Riker said to me "Wesley, give me break It's arrogant to think you'll never make a mistake But when you're in that position You only have to ask yourself one question" Oh, what would Captain Picard do? Oh, what would Captain Picard do? He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew And then complete the mission And make himself a better person Bring peace to the galaxy And do it for free Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do I just woke up after three centuries And my first thought was of money Not that my family was gone But this bald guy in a jumpsuit said to me That they'd abolished currency Everything I'd worked for was gone Yeah, there was nothing to withdraw I said to him "What do you invest in If you don't have big corporations?" He said "We invest in ourselves" And maybe I should try that out for myself Because that's what Captain Picard would do Yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew And then complete the mission And make himself a better person Bring peace to the galaxy And he'd do it for free Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do Remember when he told us to remove the saucer section Even though we were at warp nine, there was no objection And yeah we could have k**ed the Borg using Hugh But we agreed with the Captain it was the wrong thing to do And I'd rather follow Dixon Hill, Private Detective Than observe some outmoded and obscure prime directive And even after he was tortured for forty days and nights He told that Carda**ian that there were still four lights And yeah when you're confused and the choice is too hard Just think of Captain Picard Just think of Captain Picard Think what would Captain Picard do? Yeah, what would Captain Picard do? He'd save the galaxy And he'd do it for free He'd protect the whole world And he'd still get the girl And he'd save the federation And earn the Klingon's admiration Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do
