ben franklin's song - the decemberists lyrics
electricity
yeah, you can all thank me
took some lightning, a kite, and a fat br-ss key
and they’re putting up streetlights in g-y paris
you’re welcome from our young nation
i’m the only american the french wanna see
they call me a g*nius, i can’t disagree
they have guns, they have funds
they can set us free
invest in my reputation
and do you know who the f-ck i am?
yeah, do you know who the f-ck i am?
do you know who the f-ck i am?
i am poor-richard’s-almanack-writing benjamin f-ckin’ franklin
i said, early to bed, b-tches, early to rise
they make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise
soldiers are fighting for freedom, they have no supplies
so diplomacy happens at night
john adams debates at the gates of versailles
he whines and parades and awaits a reply
as i stay up late with a succulent breast or a thigh
alright, diplomacy happens at night
and do you know who the f-ck i am?
yeah, do you know who the f-ck i am?
do you know who the f-ck i am?
i am 76-and-i’ll-still-kick-your–ss f-ckin’ franklin
one pain that lingers, the hitch in my stride
is my son back at home who i could not guide
who sits all alone in a prison cell on the wrong side
stands against our young nation
so i play my amb-ssador part with pride
i am known in the world, and the world is wide
to my children, my sins may be magnified, but i’d
do it all again, no hesitation
and do you know who the f-ck i am?
yeah, do you know who the f-ck i am?
do you know who the f-ck i am?
i am poor-richard’s-almanack-writing benjamin f-ckin’ franklin
(do you know who the f-ck i am?) who the f-ck i am?
(do you know who the f-ck i am?) who the f-ck i am?
(do you know who the f-ck i am?)
i am poor-richard’s-almanack-writing
polymath, bifocal-wearing
hardened gl-ss-harmonica-playing
benjamin f-ckin’ franklin
