The Decemberists

The Decemberists - Ben Franklin's Song lyrics

Your rating:

Electricity!

Yeah, you can all thank me

Took some lightning, a kite, and a fat brass key

And they're putting up streetlights in Gay Paris

You're welcome from our young nation



I'm the only American the French wanna see

They call me a genius, 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**kin' Franklin



I said, early to bed, bitches, 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-Ass f**kin' 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 ambassador 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**kin' 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 glass-harmonica-playing

Benjamin f**kin' Franklin
