My Greatest loss
I turned my eyes to a new place
and thought I'd like it there.
So I stepped out and placed my foot
unto this new land fair.
But another saw that land too,
and soon he stood there strong.
Then the person who was already there, my neck he had wrong.
So I punched at him, and he fell back,
and called to his companion,
Together they defended they're land
every mountain and every canyon
From Lexington they beat my head,
and then I did lash out.
But Washington stood strong to me,
and then he rode his mount.
He set out for my last big toe
defending egalitarianism wholeheartedly
then at Yorktown so near to my first step
his troops defeated me.
Then I was scorned
my pow'rs gone
America
has won
But soon I know
They'll fall down
as living like us
in nation-town
is harder than
America would think
I know they're standing
on the brink
