[Verse] We hunt for trouble With our fingers dipped in blood We hold the rifles With a hangman's heart If reunited 'Fore the last sun lie The snake They cut in the parts That come back alive for 'em Brother Benjamin is off in France We're taking Trenton back again The garrison of Hessians will fall They say Delaware will freeze a man We chasin' sovereigns Across the Styx and dodging ice floes It's all on Honeyman Our mole inside the ivy that grows So unnatural to see this leaf So far from its home Must deracinate the weed Proceed to drive the motherfucker right up out of the loam
[Hook]
[Verse] With fingers frozen from tracking And groping and trapping Found the trouble and coupled At the mouths that prize the purse from the apt And the victim claimed by the slow mechanism That broke its opponents back While the crimson coats were bending elbows in half WE ATTACKED! I know you noticed the battle It don't need quoting It's spoken over ad nauseum Darling, the sharpest story Every veteran, politician, talking head'll Get on the pedestal Spin the saga any way That will make their means our end
We, we've got ourselves a fight song For the wool they'll pull over your eyes Tell the devil that we're coming right home Tonight, tonight. 2x
