Текст песни The Copper War (The Cog Is Dead) с переводом

Verdigris Patina was a peaceful little town

The home of Wilbur Redpot, finest coppersmith around

He was famous for his products, as they sold extremely well

Competitors were livid as their business income fell

Now, Alexander Copperplate, a man from out of town

Declared his gang was coming soon to shoot poor Wilbur down

The town was in a panic, they knew something should be done

And they had till morning sun!

So saddle up your steam-bike and put your goggles on

We’ve got to be prepared or else we’ll all be dead by dawn

Copperplate is coming, and his eyes are seeing red

And he’s after Wilbur’s head!

The townsfolk got together and they figured out a plan

They knew they’d have to do their best to save their fellow man

And, though they had no weapons, they all had a lot of brains:

They’d build machines to leave their villain in a world of pain!

So Wilbur brought the copper, old Frank supplied the steel;

Bob and Sue had extra chains, and Tommy brought the wheels;

They knew they’d have a chance with these, they knew they’d win the fight

And they worked all through the night!

So saddle up your steam-bike and put your goggles on

We’ve got to be prepared or else we’ll all be dead by dawn

Copperplate is coming and his eyes are seeing red

And he’s after Wilbur’s head!

Well Copperplate arrived at dawn, he stayed true to his word

But the town was deathly silent, not a soul was to be heard

He yelled out, «Redpot! Come on out, and fight me like a man!»

And that was when the churning and the chugging sounds began

An army of the townsfolk soon poured out into the street

Each of them on steam-bikes, and they all were packing heat

They had his men surrounded, there was fear on every face

And they put them in their place!

Power up your steam-bike, let’s show 'em who’s in charge

We’ve got our ropes and grappling hooks and weapons to discharge

Copperplate is panicked and his face is turning white

And we’re gonna win this fight!

That’s right! Let’s go!

Now power down your steam-bike, we finally took 'em down

We strung 'em up and licked 'em good and ran them out of town

Verdigris Patina is a peaceful town once more

And we won the Copper War!

Hyah!
