[Verse 1]
I'm burning my books
Tired  of so many cooks
And  y'know what?
I know how to shred this wood
I might be a fool
Bucking  the shrewdest gurus
But  nobody else has a clue what I'm meant to do

[Pre-Chorus]
Punk-ass soldiers tryin' to run the show
Tellin'  me what to do and where to go
Mount my horse 'cuz it's time to tell the world

[Chorus]
The British are coming
The British are coming
The  British are coming

[Verse 2]
It might take a sec
For me to make sense of this mess
Brush off the bugs
Uncover my naked breast

[Pre-Chorus]
Punk-ass soldiers tryin' to run the show
Tellin' me what to do and where to go
Mount my horse 'cuz it's time to tell the world
[Chorus]
The British are coming
The British are coming
The British are coming

[Bridge]
This is the destiny of all mankind
We will shake off these chains and shackles that bind
C'mon, let's give them everything we have

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The British are coming (coming)
The British are coming (coming)
The British are coming
