The Ex (Punk Band) - The Rise of the Dutch Republic lyrics

Back in the old days in 1584
We had a Prince here called William the Bore
Wealthy and worthless he was born tired
But he was the boss so he couldn't get fired

Then in came this Frenchy oops, he had a gun
Billy went down the stairs
He never got up again

It's the rise of the Dutch Republic

A couple of years later it's 1984
There's another Prince and a
Few bastards more
They honor the memory of William the First
Well, he had been boring
But they're even worse

Recalling his death hey, that's a good idea
Find yourself a weapon
Choose your Billy of the Year

It's the rise of the Dutch Republic
