| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, let’s pick a fight.
|
| We hunt for trouble tonight.
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, boys, we’re right!
|
| We hunt for trouble
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| You know we’re right!
|
| We hunt for trouble
|
| With our fingers dipped in blood.
|
| We hold the rifles
|
| With a hangman’s heart.
|
| If reunited
|
| 'Fore the last sun lie,
|
| The snake
|
| They cut in the parts
|
| That come back alive for 'em.
|
| Brother Benjamin is off in France.
|
| We’re taking Trenton back again.
|
| The garrison of Hessians will fall.
|
| They say Delaware will freeze a man.
|
| We chasin' sovereigns
|
| Across the Styx and dodging ice floes.
|
| It’s all on Honeyman,
|
| Our mole inside the ivy that grows.
|
| So unnatural to see this leaf
|
| So far from its home.
|
| Must deracinate the weed,
|
| Drive it out of the loam.
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, let’s pick a fight.
|
| We hunt for trouble tonight.
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, boys, we’re right!
|
| We hunt for trouble
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| You know we’re right!
|
| With fingers frozen from tracking
|
| And groping and trapping,
|
| Found the trouble and coupled
|
| At the mouths that prize the purse from the apt.
|
| And the victim claimed by the slow mechanism
|
| That broke its opponents back.
|
| While the crimson coats were bending elbows in half,
|
| WE ATTACKED!
|
| I know you noticed the battle.
|
| It don’t need quoting.
|
| It’s spoken over ad nauseum.
|
| Darling, the sharpest story.
|
| Every veteran, politician, talking head’ll
|
| Get on the pedestal,
|
| Spin the saga any way
|
| That will make their means our end.
|
| We, we’ve got ourselves a fight song
|
| For the wool they’ll pull over your eyes.
|
| Tell the devil that we’re coming right home
|
| Tonight, tonight.
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, let’s pick a fight.
|
| We hunt for trouble tonight!
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, boys, we’re right!
|
| We hunt for trouble
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| You know we’re right!
|
| ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, let’s pick a fight!
|
| We hunt for trouble tonight!
|
| I know it’s hopeless, Hell
|
| Ain’t big enough to hold us back.
|
| Come on, boys, we’re right!
|
| We hunt for trouble
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| Tonight, tonight, tonight.
|
| You know we’re right! |
