Lyrics

The British Are Coming (ver. 1)

I know how to hack
I know how to program code
I know how to sweep
My girlfriend off of her feet
Nielsen's a joke
Same with the Gallup Polls
Nobody else has a clue
What I'm s'posed to do

Fucking Romans tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Get my horse and ...tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

It might take a sec'
For me to defeat Boba Fett
I need a new gun
I'm tired of this old one

Fucking Romans tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Get my horse and ...tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

The British Are Coming (ver. 2)

I know how to hack
I know how to program code
I know how to sweep
The co-eds off of their feet
The Nielsen's are jokes
Same with the Gallup Polls
Nobody else has a clue
What I'm meant to do

Roman consuls tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and who to know
Get my horse 'cause I gotta tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

It might take a sec'
For me to defeat Boba Fett
I need a new gun
I'm tired of this old one

Roman consuls tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and who to know
Get my horse 'cause I gotta tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

...

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

The British Are Coming (ver. 3)

I'm burning my books
Tired of so much input
And you know what?
I know how to whittle wood
The Nielsen's are jokes
Same with the Gallup Polls
Nobody else has a clue
What I'm meant to do

Fuckin' redcoats tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
I'll mount my horse 'cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

It might take a sec'
For me to defeat Boba Fett
I need a new gun
I'm tired of this broken one

Fuckin' redcoats tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
I'll mount my horse 'cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

I got a special friend in my pocket
And he tells me everything I need to know
I'll hope that he helps me spread the word around

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

The British are coming

This is the destiny of all humankind
We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind
I'm gonna give them everything we have

The British are coming
The British are coming

The British Are Coming (ver. 43)

I'm burning my books
Tired of so many cooks
And you know what?
I know how to work with wood
The Nielsen's a joke
Same with the Gallup Poll
Nobody else has a clue
What I'm meant to do

Roman soldiers tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Get my horse 'cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

It might take a sec'
For me to defeat Boba Fett
I need a new gun
I'm tired of this airsoft one

Roman soldiers tryin' to run the show
Telling me what to do and where to go
Get my horse 'cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

This is the destiny of all humankind
We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind
I'm gonna give them everything we have

The British are coming
The British are coming

Lexington, rise
Light up a fire in the forge
We're not just coins
In the coffer of old King George
Throw out your tea
Put on a torn deerskin shirt
I know this shot will
Be heard all around the world

Punk-ass soldiers tryin' to run the show
Telling us what to do and where to go
Get my horse 'cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming

The British are coming

One if by land
Two if they come by sea
We'll show 'em who are
The true Sons of Liberty

Punk-ass soldiers tryin' to run the show
Telling us what to do and where to go
Get your horse 'cause it's time to tell the world
The British are coming

We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind

I'm dumping my tea
