Redcoat Lyrics

There's a Redcoat breathing down our necks

A handle on our lives

With a two way secret calling code

Against our fathers' knives

Gonna run, gonna hide, goin' underground

We're gonna try and take this man

We're slowing down.

On a Sugar Loaf not far from here

Firelight burning bright

With a horse that carries a Redcoat fear

A will to make us fight

Gonna run, gonna hide, goin' underground

Gonna try and take this man

We're slowing down and he's goin' down…

All we ever wanted

Was a free and easy life

In the country of our ancestors

In a land free of strife

But the Redcoat came

And he walked our earth

And he showed us no respect

Treated us like dirt

Gonna run, gonna hide, goin' underground

Gonna hunt and put this man

Into the ground he's goin' down…

Redcoat is running scared

We're fighting for our lives

His horse threw his Redcoat fear

We sharpen up our knives

He loads his gun we come up behind

He's too slow to run or keep his musket primed

He aims his gun we paint our knives

With the blood of Redcoat lives
