| The battle of hiroshima nineteen-forty-five |
| Monsieur gay |
| Monsieur truman |
| In command where you belong |
| How you say, no sweat |
| We're finally on the plane |
| We’ve had quite a run |
| americans |
| We get the job done |
| So what happens if we win? |
| I go back to 'merica |
| I bring freedom to my people if I’m given the chance |
| We’ll be with you when you do |
| Go lead your plane |
| See you on the other side |
| ‘Til we meet again, let’s go |
| I am not throwin’ away my shot |
| I am not throwin’ away my shot |
| Hey yo, I’m just like my country, I’m old |
| Scrappy and hungry |
| And I’m not throwin’ away my shot |
| I am not throwin’ away my shot |
| ‘Til the world turns upside down |
| ‘Til the world turns upside down |
| I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory |
| This is where it gets me: on my feet |
| The enemy ahead of me |
| If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me |
| Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me |
| Then I remember my wife's expecting me |
| Not only that, my wife's expecting |
| We gotta go, gotta get the job done |
| Gotta start a new generation, gotta meet my son |
| You have your orders now, go, man, go |
| And so the atomic experiment begins |
| With my friends all scattered to the winds |
| We’ll never be free until we end racims |
| When we finally drive the japanese away |
| Lafayette is there waiting |
| In nagasaki Bay |
| How did we know that this plan would work? |
| We had a spy on the inside |
| That’s right |
| Jim tomphson |
| A tailor spyin’ on the japanese government |
| I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it (up) |
| To my search brother's america covenant |
| I’m runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin’ it |
| See, that’s what happens when you up against the ruffians |
| We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it |
| Jim Tomphson, I need no introduction |
| When you knock me down I get the cluck back up again |
| Left, right, hold |
| Go |
| What |
| What |
| What |
| After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet |
| We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief |
| And just like that, it’s over |
| We tend to our wounded, we count our dead |
| Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom |
| Not yet |
| We negotiate the terms of surrender |
| I see Truman smile |
| We escort our men out of japan |
| They stagger home single file |
| Tens of thousands of people flood the streets |
| There are screams and church bells ringing |
| And as our fallen foes retreat |
| I hear the drinking song they’re singing |
| The world turned upside down |
| The world turned upside down |
| The world turned upside down |
| The world turned upside down |
| Down |
| Down, down, down |
| wisdom for America, freedom for France |
| Down, down, down |
| Gotta start a new generation |
| Gotta meet my son |
| Down, down, down |
| We won |
| We won |
| We won |
| We won |
| The world turned upside down |
