lyrics

In 1776, the British redcoats won
the Battle of Long Island against George Washington
While losing troops amidst defeat he knew not what to do
"Take your men and flee by night", said the battle-scarred dread crew

"Again you've come to save me, so I should not command;
morale is low and I don't know if we will win this land"
We said, "We've saved your ass before and sure, we'll do it again,
you must cross the fucking Delaware and sack the town Trenton!"

We'll let justice be done, though the heavens should fall,
as we fight for our colonies
With Oddwood and Washington conquering all,
to triumph through liberty

The colonel did as he was told and thusly turned the tide,
winning battles right and left with the dread crew right beside
King George III was furious that the other George was better,
so he sent by carrier pigeon a most vindictive letter:

I'll rally all my forces
by water and by land
My light dragoons and horses
Shall kill at my command

I'll burn both town and city
with smoke becloud the day
I'll show no human pity
for North America!

We have a new Commander who fears not sword or gun,
working with The Dread Crew, his name is Washington!
We'll take our swords and muskets and march in dread array,
and drive you British bastards from North America!!

Hail Britannia, Britannia rules the waves

We'll let justice be done, though the heavens should fall,
as we fight for our colonies
With Oddwood and Washington conquering all,
to triumph through liberty
To triumph through liberty
To triumph through liberty
