lyrics

Every weekend, as sure as the sunrise
Larry gets up and dressed to go
He shares his coffee with G. Gordon Liddy
and the inquiring minds on talk radio

And he's filled with a sense of higher purpose
to defend his home from government intrigue
He's so excited, he can't wait to join his comrades
as he slips into his camoflage fatigues

Hey Paul Revere, you got my ear
One if by land, two if by sea
Spread the word, there's a brand new revolution
It's gonna save us all from democracy

He's prepared for the coming confrontation
a patriot, he's eager for the call
With a warehouse full of AK-47s
and a poster of Charlton Heston on the wall

Hey Paul Revere, you got my ear
One if by land, two if by sea
Spread the word, there's a brand new revolution
It's gonna save us all from democracy

Larry knows that the aliens are watching
and communists still run the U.N.
And there's a plot to bring back Village People
and destroy our moral fiber from within

But he's inspired by the story of a little man
who had some great big fun in Germany
As he cleans his rifle, he dreams of a better day
he'll be ready, just you wait and see

Hey Paul Revere, you got my ear
One if by land, two if by sea
Spread the word, there's a brand new revolution
It's gonna save us all from democracy
