(Lord It's Hard To Be Happy When You're Not) Using The Metric System |
Twelve inches per foot |
Two pints in a quart |
Why don’t we make it easy? |
The English system of measurement must be linked to history |
We can use units of ten and convert with ease |
Like all the other countries |
I am in command |
Yes, I am taking a stand |
From this disease we must be free |
Good God |
You’re drunk with your tradition |
That has no validity |
Well, I’m intoxicated in support of metrics |
Come drink a decaliter with me |
We want metrics |
We want it now |
We know we can win |
I weigh 170 pounds |
That’s 90 kilograms |
So metrics can even make you thin |
Yardsticks are pathetic |
All the cool things are in metrics |
For example, here’s just one |
I’ve got my nine |
Well, that’s nine millimeters |
Sounds cooler than my point two something inches gun |
The powerful if nonexistant they will call me communist |
Or commie scum |
But it’s worth it |
Canadians will think we’re smart |
At least they’ll think we are not as dumb |
You’re drunk with your tradition |
That has no validity |
Well, I’m intoxicated in support of metrics |
Come drink a decaliter with me |
We want metrics |
We want it now |
We know we can win |
I weigh 170 pounds |
That’s 90 kilograms |
So metrics can even make you thin |
The revolution’s here |
We must overcome at last |
As we symbolically stick their fucking foot up their fucking ass |
Guitar! |
You are drunk with your tradition |
That has no validity |
Well, I’m intoxicated in support of metrics |
Come drink a decaliter with me |
We want metrics |
We want it now |
We know we can win |
I weigh 170 pounds |
That’s 90 kilograms |
So metrics can even make you thin |
