Historical Conchords- Inner Kingdom Prussia (with Out-takes)

This parody of Inner City Pressure by Flight of the Conchords is a brief history of the Kingdom of Prussia- with a cameo from Mr Beattie. Our 4th song, and 2nd set of outtakes.
Lyrics Below--

Inner kingdom life, inner kingdom Prussia
That massive nation is going to bust ya
Germany's alive, Germany's expanding
Living near to Germans can be demanding,
You want everything, everything you owned,
You fought a war for the Danish throne
You don't know what you're doing, you attack the French
You don't know why you did, you say sorry to the French
In the 18th Century you're really quite poor
Not having recovered from the Thirty Years War.
You want land off the Swedes after the Great Northern War
And you still want more
You still want more (We want much more)

Inner
Inner kingdom
Inner kingdom Prussia
Inner kingdom Prussia

You want the best of the new found nation
Pioneering compulsory education,
Your second King didn't make things easier
"Hey guys, why dont we invade Silesia"
Meeting nations of all shapes and sizes
Treates, promises, compromises
Austria and Russia are joining with France
You seek the British for an alliance
Check your mind, consult your peers
Have you really been at War for the last seven years?
But you win that war, and look at you now.
Europeans consider you as a great power

Inner
Inner kingdom
Inner kingdom Prussia
Inner kingdom Prussia (x2)

So you lost for a bit, let Napoleon invade
But you gained new land and it's here to stay
The other Germans want a big new nation
And Bismarck agrees to unification
Another new emperor loves the English
But he dies three months later, he's fairly wimpish.
After World War I you're in a Versailles Hall
And you're enemies make you lose it all...

(synthesising)
Inner kingdom Prussia
Inner
Inner kingdom
Inner kingdom
Inner kingdom Prussia

Inner
Inner kingdom
Inner kingdom Prussia
Inner kingdom Prussia

What are you listening to, something by Usher? All you'll hear is Inner kingdom Prussia
Inner Kingdom Prussia
What are you doing, allying with Russia? Try Prussia
Inner Kingdom Prussia

LOL, I knew I wasn't the only one hearing Prussia instead of pressure, but that someone even made parody of it, hilarious, it's even educational!
