tom richey - metternich rap (congress of vienna lyrics
[intro]
just laid down another warm water record! prince klemmy aka mc metternich is gonna tell y’all about the congress of vienna!
[verse 1]
what up europeans!
it’s the ladies’ pick
austrian prince
klemens von metternich
aristocracy’s savior
i’m the man of the hour
gonna carefully restore
europe’s balance of power
eatin’ nationalists for breakfast
liberals for my dinner
gotta be conservative
if you wanna be a winner
i’m the coachman of europe
so you better hold your horses
because all the great powers
are about to join forces
napoleon thought he was
too big for elba
so we threw him on a boat
straight to st helena
threatened european peace
so we set him adrift
shake the french revolution
off like taylor swift
come on, talleyrand
take a seat at the table
because europe needs a france
that is strong and stable
there’s no need to punish france
i just wanna keep order
and restore the old
1791 borders
the liberals have ideas
that they wanna express
but i shut their mouths up
when i censored the press
stability between and
within european states
it’s the goal of this order
that i’m trying to create
[hook]
so join me in vienna
where a congress is in session
together we can stop the
revolution from progressin’
this conservative order
no it ain’t gonna fall
cause i build coalitions
like trump builds walls
[verse 2]
the concert of europe
i’m conducting the show
try to start a revolution and
we’ll go toe to toe
you better step in line
don’t be tempted toward defiance
because i’ll crush you like a bug
with the holy alliance
russia prussia austria
stand together, you see
against secularism
and democracy
fighting nationalism
it’s a threat that’s pretty dire
cause we need to hold together
multi-ethnic empires
warm water is the label
that i represent
but i don’t like
representative government
greek independence
no i couldn’t stop that
once the romantic poets
lent their pens to the task
in central europe i
oversaw the formation
of a 39 state german
con-federation
try to keep things stable
diplomatic statecraft
gotta keep a watchful eye
on the burschenschaft
in 1848
i was under attack
i had to flee to england
but now look who’s back!
revolutionary punks
i’ma make your lives shorter
when you try to mess around
with my conservative order
[hook]
so join me in vienna
where a congress is in session
together we can stop the
revolution from progressin’
this conservative order
no it ain’t gonna fall
cause i build coalitions
like trump builds walls
