Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They say the price of my war's
Not a price that they're willing to pay
Insane, you cheat with the French
Now, I'm fighting with France and with Spain
I'm so blue, I thought that we'd made
An arrangement when you went away
You were mine to subdue
Well, even despite our estrangement
I've got a small query for you
[Verse 2]
What comes next?
You've been freed
Do you know how hard it is to lead?
You're on your own
Awesome, wow
Do you have a clue what happens now?
Oceans rise, empires fall
It's much harder when it's all your call
All alone across the sea
When your people say they hate you
Don't come crawling back to me
[Outro]
Da-da-da-dat-da, dat-da-da-da-da-aye-ya-da
Da-da-dat-dat-da-ya-da
You're on your own
