Let down my guard and tell the people
I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal

writing letters to relatives embellishing my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
the truth is in your face when you hear the british cannons go BOOM
Any hope of success is fleeting
how can i keep leading. when the people i’m leading keep retreating?!
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
knight takes took but look we are out gunned
outnumbered out planned

hey yo i’m gonna need a right hand man
Mod
we gotta stop em and rob em of their advantages
Mod
hamilton wont abandon ship you let’s steal their canons!
Mod
we’re abandonin’ Kips Bay and…
Mod
I am either going to die on the battlefield in glory or rise up
Guns and horses giddy up (I think this is right)
Mod
(I think this is right)"
I decide to divvy up
My forces, they’re skittish as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny:
Are these the men with which I am to defend America??
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
I can't be everywhere at once people, I'm in dire need of assistance!!

Mod
I was a captain under General Montgomery
Until he caught a bullet in the neck, and well, in summary
I think that I can be of some assistance
Mod
I admire how you keep firing on the British
I've got a couple of questions a few suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west.
