The redcoats are coming and they're coming for you
Ain't it such a drag no one knows what to do
The redcoats are coming and some of them are wearing blue
A stranger coming asking, doesn't know you by name
Twisting up some words like it's some kind of game
A stranger coming asking, 'cause he's got someone to blame
And knocked out, got shot once, can you feel it
Just a little longer and I'll break for you
Knocked out, got shot twice, can you feel it
And I'm breaking for you
If life's a joke don't you think that I'd know it
Well I guess that I laugh sometimes
If life's a joke don't you think that I'd know it
Well I guess that I laugh sometimes
Well I guess that I laugh sometimes
Working undercover looking for the street crime
Can't ever decide who should do the hard time
Been working undercover on someone else's dime
A hungry civil servant is humming a tune
Signed something heavy, now he's going home soon
Got it all done and it's not even noon
