Better pay that prince john
Better pay his tax
Better pay that Prince John
...or I'm coming to find you next
Better close your shutters
Better lock your doors
This old sheriff's comin'
taking money from the poor
he claimed our spirit
took our land
crushed our hope
with his blood filled hands
he killed our fathers
stole our sons
we cursed his name
for what he's done
Ain't gonna find no relief
'less you wind up dead
you wont escape my iron fist
you'll be payin' 'til the end
Gonna show no mercy
Just the tip of my blade
Gonna show no mercy
I got a soul even god can't save

Closer to the Lord then he is to his ale
Back to the wall he's a friend without fail
Leading you to living water, then straight to the pub
He'll fill up your soul and then fill up your mug
Throw every punch that you think you can bring
because he's so drunk yeah he won't feel a thing
arms as big as a red wood trunk
it's a cold day in hell when he stops getting drunk
Pour another shot from the top shelf
No need to worry, the lord's on your side
He's a man of the cloth, he's a man of the ale
Nothing to fear, he's praying all night that you're safe
Holy ghost aint the only spirit he wields
the word his sword and the lord is his shield
the pope said no women, not one he can choose
well lucky for Tuck he said nothing about booze
out of my way
scum to defeat
I've been drinking all night
Prince John, we're comin' to fight!
