Most of the lyrics here are way off. The actual lyrics are more like this:
(chorus)
we hunt for trouble with our fingers dipped in blood
we hold our rifles with a hangman's heart
if reunited for the last sunlight
the snake they cut in the parts
will come back alive for 'em
brother benjamin is off in france
we're taking trenton back again
the garrison of hessians will fall
they say delaware will freeze a man
we're chasing sovereigns across the styx and dodging iceflows
it's all on honeyman, our mole inside the ivy that grows
so unnatural to see this leaf so far from its home
must deracinate the weed, drive it out of the loam
(chorus)
with fingers frozen from tracking and groping and trapping
found the trouble and coupled at the mouths that prize the purse from the apt
and the victim claimed by the slow mechanism that broke its opponent's back
while the crimson coats were bending elbows in half we attacked
i know you noticed the battle; it don't need quoting
it's spoken over ad nauseum; darling, the sharpest story
every veteran, politician, talking head'll get on the pedestal,
spin the saga any way that will make their means our end
we, we've got ourselves a fight song for the wool they'll pull over your eyes
tell the devil that we're coming right home tonight, tonight
