A MUSIC PARODY
BASED ON:
"ACE OF SPADES"
BY: MOTÖRHEAD



BONUS QUOTE:
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
 
Here's one more reworking a classic Motorhead song and giving it new lyrics about something historically important, it's well known that Lemmy has a deep interest in history so I hope he will approve if he should ever come across this.

If you like your freedom, I tell you he's the man
He was white, wore black, t'was all the same to him
The measure of this man, it makes no friends within the clan
He had no cotton greed, for freedom he would bleed
As he freed the slaves, he freed the slaves

Laying down the law at fourscore an' some seven
Going out to war, t'was all a bloody chore
Linco'n wasn't drink'n, Grant was scotchin' though
Lee called him a git, confederates he'd spit
He freed the slaves, he freed the slaves

So Grant was born to booze, and rambling is for fools
But that's the way it went down see, historians go on forever
And it was sure a smoker!

Pushing up the daisies, the final of the basics
Lincoln was killed, by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's
Some bullets killed him dead, took one in the head
And though he's rather late, his legacy is great
He freed the slaves, he freed the slaves
