Rivers Cuomo - The British Are Coming lyrics

[Intro] "Welcome to the first level literati Our mission is to keep the tradition alive It's up to us It's our responsibility Who else is going to do it?" [Verse 1] This is the night Light up the fire in the forge We're not the coins in the coffer of old king George One if by land Two if they come by sea We'll show them we are the true sons of liberty [Pre-Hook] Punk a** redcoats trying to run the show Telling me what to do and where to go Mount your horse cause it's time to tell the world [Hook] The British are coming The British are coming The British are coming [Verse 2] Smear on the soot Tear up an old deer skin shirt We know the shot will be heard all around the world [Pre-Hook] Punk a** redcoats trying to run the show Telling me what to do and where to go Mount your horse cause it's time to tell the world [Hook] The British are coming The British are coming The British are coming [Bridge] This is the destiny of all mankind We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind Come on let's give them everything we have [Solo] [Hook] The British are coming The British are coming The British are coming
