BLUE SUN ROOM FILK
The series plot from Mal's point of view--based on Warren Zevon's "Mr. Bad Example." Very summarized, but the song is short and the story is long.

I started off on Shadow, 'till I joined with the Browncoats
And when we went and lost the war, I bought me this here boat
And with my first mate Zoe, and my hotshot pilot Wash
And mechanic genius Bester, we pulled shady jobs for cash
Now Wash and Zoe, they got hitched, but Bester slept around
Sometimes he took more care with that than to keep us off the ground
He screwed Kaylee in the engine room, 'cause he didn't like his bunk
And when she fixed the engine I told him to pack his trunk
Now Jayne and buddies held us up, they thought to have our hides
We offered him a better deal, and so he joined our side
Inara rents our shuttle, I believe you know what for
She says she's a Companion, but I know she's just a whore
I'm Captain Malcolm Reynolds, I'm a smuggler and a thief
I don't care what the job is, long's I get my gorram beef
I'm Captain Malcolm Reynolds, of the ship Serenity
Boil the sea and burn the land, you can't take the sky from me
One day we took on passengers, a shepherd with no flocks
a suspicious looking doctor with a girl stuck in a box
The third one was a gorram fed who tried to turn us in
But I took aim and put a slug right where his eye had been
From that moment our luck soured, and things got worse and worse
Turned out the doctor and the girl were wanted through the 'verse
Now none of that made sense to me, but as the doc explained
they were sought by the Academy, for the secrets in her brain
River beat up everyone, in a shady Beaumonde bar
She was babbling 'bout Miranda, which was even more bizarre
Seems that there's this planet, that no one knows exists
The Alliance killed them what lived there, no wonder that they're pissed
We found a tape that proved just what the Feds had done
And to Mr. Universe we made our final run
The Operative tried to stop me but I didn't fall
I stabbed his sword right through his coat and made him watch it all
I'm Captain Malcolm Reynolds, and I can't stand the core
You'll see something very different now, now that I've gone to war
I'm Captain Malcolm Reynolds, and I don't care none for cops
Thirty worlds will know the truth, 'cause the signal can't be stopped
The Operative fixed us up, and put us in the air
And River's now our pilot, so we're none the worse for wear
And Parliament has been impeached, which surely tickles me
We're going out now to the black, see you in season 3!
