- The Battle of Yorktown.
Seventeen eighty-one.
Monsieur Hamilton.
Monsieur Lafayette.
In command where you belong.
How you say, no sweat.
Were finally on the field. Weve had quite a run.
Immigrants:
We get the job done.
So what happens if we win?
I go back to France,
I bring freedom to my people if Im given the chance.
Well be with you when you do.
Go lead your men.
Ill see you on the other side.
Til we meet again, lets go!
I am not throwin away my shot!
I am not throwin away my shot!
Hey yo, Im just like my country, Im young, scrappy and hungry
And Im not throwin away my shot!
I am not throwin away my shot!
Til the world turns upside down
Til the world turns upside down
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.
This is where it gets me:
On my feet, The enemy ahead of me.
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me.
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me.
Then I remember my Elizas expecting me
Not only that, my Elizas expecting,
We gotta go, gotta get the job done,
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son !
Take the bullets out your gun!
What?
The bullets out your gun!
What?
We move under cover and we move as one
Through the night, we have one shot to live another day.
We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away.
We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it.
Its either that or meet the business endof a bayonet.
The code word is 'Rochambeau,' dig me?
Rochambeau!
You have your orders now, go, man, go!
And so the American experiment begins
With my friends all scattered to the winds.
Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining bravry.
Well never be free until we end slavery!
When we finally drive the British away,
Lafayette is there waiting—In Chesapeake Bay!
How did we know that this plan would work?
We had a spy on the inside. Thats right
Hercules Mulligan!
A tailor spyin on the British government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it!
Up
To my brothers revolutionary covenant
Im runnin with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin it!
See, thats what happens when you up against the ruffians.
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction,
When you knock me down I get the **** back up again !
Whoa!
Left! Right! Hold!
Go!
What!
What!
What!
After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet.
We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief.
And just like that, its over.
We tend to our wounded. We count our dead.
Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom.
Not yet
We negotiate the terms of surrender.
I see George Washington smile.
We escort their men out of Yorktown.
They stagger home single file.
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets.
There are screams and church bells ringing.
And as our fallen foes retreat,
I hear the drinking song theyre singing:
The world turned upside down.
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
Down
Down, down, down.
Freedom for America, freedom for France!
Down, down, down.
Gotta start a new nation,Gotta meet my son.
Down, down, down.
We won!
We won!
We won!
We won!
The world turned upside down!
