(Rochambeau!)
A tailor spyin' on the British government!
After a week of fighting, a young man in a redcoat stands on a parapet
And as our fallen foes retreat
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!
And just like that, it's over, we tend to our wounded, we count our dead
And so the American experiment begins
Another day
Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom
Down, down, down [2]
Down, down, down [3]
Down, down, down, down [1]
Finally on the field, we've had quite a run
Freedom for America, freedom for France!
Go lead your men
Go!
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son [2]
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son! [1]
Hercules Mulligan!
Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
How did we know that this plan would work?
How you say, no sweat
I am not throwin' away my shot! [1]
I am not throwin' away my shot! [2]
I am not throwin' away my shot! [3]
I bring freedom to my people
I go back to France
I hear the drinking song they're singing
I imagine death so much, it feels more like a memory
I see George Washington smile
I see you on the other side
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it! (Up)
I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it!
I'm young scrappy and hungry
If I'm given the chance
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
Immigrants, we get the job done
In command where you belong
It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet
Lafayette is there waiting in Chesapeake Bay!
Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining bravery
Left! Right! Hold!
Monsieur Hamilton
Monsieur Lafayette
Not only that, my Eliza's expecting
Not yet
See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians
So what happens if we win?
Take the bullets out your gun! (What?)
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
The Battle of Yorktown, 1781
The bullets out your gun! (What?)
The code word is "Rochambeau", dig me?
The world turned upside down [1]
The world turned upside down [2]
The world turned upside down [3]
The world turned upside down [4]
The world turned upside down! [5]
Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me
There are screams and church bells ringing
They stagger home single file
This is where it gets me, on my feet the enemy ahead of me
Through the night, we have one shot to live
Til the world turns upside down [1]
Til the world turns upside down! [2]
Til we meet again, let's go!
To my brother's revolutionary covenant
We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away
We escort their men out of Yorktown
We gotta go, gotta get the job done
We had a spy on the inside, that's right
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
We move undercover and we move as one
We negotiate the terms of surrender
We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it
We won! (We won!) [1]
We won! (We won!) [2]
We'll be with you when you do
We'll never be free until we end slavery!
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
What? What? What?
When we finally drive the British away
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!
With my friends all scattered to the winds
You have your orders now, go, man, go!
