Across the Pond Roasting

Verse 1

Tea

Cold

In Boston Harbor

A bit of a tantrum

Over tax on the leaves

You won your freedom

To buy and sell people

The irony stings

Like a bad sunburn

Red white and blue

Bruised by the truth

Chorus

Oh Columbia you're loud

Oh Columbia you're proud

Marching boots on foreign soil

All for freedom and for oil

Star-spangled mess

Under heavy duress

Post-Chorus

Rule the waves

Dig the graves

Rule the waves

Dig the graves

Verse 2

Boots

Deep

In the mud

Another quagmire

Where nobody asked

Drafting the farm boys

To protect the stock price

Missiles and medals

Shiny and sharp

Bombs for breakfast

Debt for lunch

The bank wins

Always

Chorus

Oh Columbia you're loud

Oh Columbia you're proud

Marching boots on foreign soil

All for freedom and for oil

Star-spangled mess

Under heavy duress

Post-Chorus

Rule the waves

Dig the graves

Rule the waves

Dig the graves

Bridge

Can't find it

On a map

Can't find it

In your heart

You police the world

But forget your own street

Sugar in the bread

Lead in the pipes

Freedom is a brand

Sold at the mall

Verse 3

Forks

Left

On the table

Wrong side of the road

Coffee in a bucket

Call it a medium

Fifty star ego

Zero star service

The empire fell

But we kept the dignity

You kept the guns

And the cheese

In a spray can

Chorus

Oh Columbia you're loud

Oh Columbia you're proud

Marching boots on foreign soil

All for freedom and for oil

Star-spangled mess

Under heavy duress

Post-Chorus

Rule the waves

Dig the graves

Rule the waves

Dig the graves

Outro

God save the king

And your credit score

Pip pip

Toodle-oo

Mind the gap

Between the rich and the poor
