Of 1812

Great Britain, why won't you leave us alone?
I thought that we were done
With fighting each other and striving together,
Drenched in tears under the sun.

You had no right to stop our ship,
No, you had no right.
So you know what we are going to do?
Oh yes, you know we will fight.

Our brothers will not go unavenged,
We are coming after you.
Our hearts are ready, you'd better prepare
To have your own run through.

The outcome of yet another strife
Remains as a future unseen.
But you will gain a healthy fear
Of our Army, Navy, and Marines.
