(yardsticks are pathetic)
|
|
12 inches per foot,
|
2 pints per quart,
|
why don't we make it easy?
|
the english system of measurement MUST be laid to history,
|
we can use units of 10 and convert with ease,
|
just like all the other countries,
|
i am in command yes i am taking a stand,
|
from this disease we must be free! (Good God!)
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
You are drunk with your tradition that has no validity,
|
while i'm intoxicated with smarts and metrics,
|
come drink a dekaliter with me.
|
we want metrics, we want them now! we know we can win!
|
i weigh 170 lbs. that's 90 kilograms,
|
see metrics can even make me thin
|
|
(yardsticks are pathetic)
|
|
all cool things are in metrics,
|
for example here's just one,
|
i got my "nine" well that's nine millimeters,
|
sounds cooler then my .3 something inches gun!
|
the powerful, if non-existent "they" will call me communist,
|
they'll call me scum, but it's worth it,
|
canadians will think we're smart or at least not as dumb,
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
the revolution's here,
|
we must overcome at last,
|
as we symbolically stick their 12 inch foot up their antiquate ass... guitar!
|
|
[CHORUS]
