  • 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

    Ooh ooh
    Ooh
    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

    Punk ass 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

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

    Smear on the soot
    Tear up an old deer skin shirt
    We know the shot will be heard all around the world

    Punk ass 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

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

    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

    The British are coming
    The British are coming
    The British are coming Writer/s: RIVERS CUOMO
