[Intro]

Lee may not live to see our glory

(Lee may not live to see our glory)

But We'll survive him, come what may

(We'll survive him, come what may)

And when our children tell our story

(When our children tell our story)

Tell the story of today


[Verse]

Fellas I'm going back New York (What for?)

I apprenticed a tailor before the war

He said I could go back anytime

Now look around, we're fighting amoungst ourselves

Now, we're losing ground

And I'm broke, I'm broker than the locals

I'm broker than Ben Franklin's broken bi-focals

And I am broke down, tired and exhausted

I feel like the war is over, but no one told us we lost it

I'll walk to New York with you, Mulligan

Hamilton, wherever you may roll

What happened?

I asked for a command

And?

He sent me home


[Outro]

Raise a glass to freedom

Something they can never take away

No matter what they tell you

You'll tell the story of tonight

Raise a glass to the four of us

Tomorrow there'll be more of us
