DJ Disruptarian’s ‘Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption’ – A Sea Shanty of Betrayal and Greed
DJ Disruptarian’s ‘Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption’ – A Sea Shanty of Betrayal and Greed
On February 5th, 2025, DJ Disruptarian released Sea Shanties of Broken Tides, an album packed with raw, unfiltered truths wrapped in the powerful rhythms of traditional folk music. One of its most striking and politically charged tracks, ‘Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption,’ takes direct aim at President Joe Biden’s scandals, his family’s alleged crimes, and the selling of American interests to foreign powers. Set to the rolling cadence of a classic sea shanty, this track exposes a system built on deception, self-interest, and betrayal of the working class.
A Presidency Mired in Scandal
The opening verse wastes no time setting the tone:
Oh, they call him Sleepy Joe, but he’s sly and keen,
Selling off the country to a foreign queen.
8,064 set loose on the shore,
While the honest folk toil evermore.
Through gritty maritime imagery, DJ Disruptarian compares Biden’s presidency to a sinking ship, with America’s rights, resources, and sovereignty being handed over piece by piece. The reference to 8,064 set loose on the shore calls to mind the uncontrolled influx of individuals across the borders, while everyday Americans are burdened with economic struggles and political deception.
The Chorus: A Nation in Decline
The chorus drives home the tragic state of the nation:
Heave-ho, lads, the ship’s goin’ down!
The king’s in his castle, but he’s sold the crown.
Bound to the East, our fate is sealed,
Traded our rights for a sack o’ steel.
Biden is depicted as a king who has sold out his own people, sealing the nation’s fate by prioritizing foreign deals over American prosperity. The phrase “Bound to the East” implies economic and political entanglements with China and Ukraine, where wealth and power were exchanged at the expense of the nation’s future.
Foreign Deals and American Decay
The second verse paints a grim picture of global corruption:
Ukraine got gold, China took land,
While we break our backs at his cruel command.
The debt runs deep, the lies run wide,
With a storm on the bow and nowhere to hide.
DJ Disruptarian calls out the Biden administration’s questionable financial dealings with Ukraine and China, highlighting the economic burden placed on American citizens while those in power profit from backdoor agreements. The nation is left struggling under mounting debt and widespread deception, with no safe harbor in sight.
A Captain Who Betrayed His Crew
The bridge delivers a chilling indictment of a leader who laughs while the country suffers:
The wind howls loud, the sea turns red,
While the captain laughs and fills his bed.
Justice sank, lost to the tide,
With a broken compass and a king who lied.
The imagery of a sea turned red suggests both economic collapse and bloodshed, consequences of failed policies and government corruption. Justice, much like the American dream, has drowned in the tide, while those responsible remain untouched.
A Call to Action
The song concludes with a powerful demand for resistance:
So grab your ropes and man the mast,
The kingdom’s gone, the die is cast.
If we don’t fight, if we don’t stand,
We’ll all be slaves to a plundered land!
Rather than simply lamenting the state of the nation, DJ Disruptarian calls upon the people to rise up, take a stand, and reclaim their freedom. The message is clear—if citizens do not resist the deception and corruption, they will become nothing more than servants to a broken system.
A Song of Truth and Rebellion
‘Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption’ is more than a political protest song—it is a warning, a battle cry, and a reckoning. It exposes the deception of those in power and urges the working class to wake up and take action. Set against the timeless backdrop of a sea shanty, the song bridges the past and present, reminding listeners that history repeats itself when tyranny goes unchallenged.
Experience the Truth Behind ‘Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption’

Lyrics: ‘Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption’
(Verse 1)
Oh, they call him Sleepy Joe, but he’s sly and keen,
Selling off the country to a foreign queen.
8,064 set loose on the shore,
While the honest folk toil evermore.
(Chorus)
Heave-ho, lads, the ship’s goin’ down!
The king’s in his castle, but he’s sold the crown.
Bound to the East, our fate is sealed,
Traded our rights for a sack o’ steel.
(Bridge)
The wind howls loud, the sea turns red,
While the captain laughs and fills his bed.
Justice sank, lost to the tide,
With a broken compass and a king who lied.
(Outro)
So grab your ropes and man the mast,
The kingdom’s gone, the die is cast.
If we don’t fight, if we don’t stand,
We’ll all be slaves to a plundered land!
