A/N: Hey there! I heard this song called Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) by Billy Joel on the radio in the car with my dad the other day and I know it's strange but somehow Hetalia came to mind. (I recommend listening to it before reading this to get an idea of how it's being sung.) I thought about it relating to America gaining independence from Britain by moving out of his house and I rewrote the words to make it fit to how he felt about it and how he feels towards Britain now.

By the way, I also tried incorporating some history here and there throughout the song but anybody please correct me if any of it's wrong in some way; I don't want to look like some idiot who knows nothing about their own country's history or anything like that.

Disclaimer: I own niether Hetalia nor the lyrics to Movin' Out. All I did was rewrite most of the lyrics. Sorry, couldn't think of a witty comment.


I Moved Right Out

Sung by Alfred F. Jones

Britain was fightin' in the Seven Years' War

Had no idea of the debt it would cause me

Then one day he left a stamp on the door

It said,

"America, you owe me taxes."

Those Stamp and Tea Acts gave me such

A heart attackackackackackackackack

I should've known by then

Who needs to live with that tea-loving Brit?

Is that all I got for such high-ass taxes?

And it seemed like such a waste of time

If that's what it's all about

Britain kept me from movin' up so I moved right out

Mmm, I moved right out. Mmm, ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

One-third of me just felt like staying that way

Another third longed for a revolution

Yet another really cared less either way

God, what was wrong with my colonies back then? (1)

And years later when I dragged his Rolls-Royroyroyroyroyroyroyroyce (2)

He had to know by then

He could train his very hardest 'till the next century

And still never be as strong as I am

And It seemed like such a waste of time

If that's what it's all about

Britain could barely move up 'cause I moved right out

Mmm, I moved right out. Mmm, ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

Never argue with a world super powpowpowpowpowpowpower

You oughta know by now

'Bout time you paid back the war loans with the overtime (3)

Is that all you got for your money?

And if that's what you have in mind

Yeah if that's what you're all about

Britain, good luck movin' up 'cause I moved right out.

Mmm, I moved right out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

I moved right out...


America finished singing his song into his milk-shake straw and turned around horrified to see Britain standing in his doorway.

"Uhh, Britain? How long have you been standing there?" America asked.

"Hmph. Long enough," Britain started, "You didn't show up at the meeting so I came to your house to see if anything was wrong. But America, is that how you really feel about me?".

America set down his shake on a nearby table and started twidling his thumbs, a nervous look on his face. n an instant his expression lightened and he started his one-of-a-kind laugh and ran up towards Britain.

"Hahaha! Yeah right!" the taller nation laughed as he placed a hand on the other's shoulder, "I left yo' ass! Sheesh, get over it, man!"

"But you're the one who wrote an entire bloody song about it! Speak for yourself you git!" Birtain yelles as he shoved America's hand off of his shoulder.

"Oh, whatever. It doesn't really matter who wrote the song."

"Yes, it does!" Britain argued,"Now just tell me what's wrong!".

"Nothing's wrong! I'm way over it! Now could you just get outta my house? ! Nobody asked you to visit me," America yelled as he pushed the Brit out of his front door. Britain, who clearly didn't match his former colony in strength, was unwillingly left out on the front step of America's house.

"And good riddance," America grumbled to the door.

"I can't believe I missed that guy for a single second."


(1) I read somewhere after doing a bit of research about how roughly one-third of the colonies supported the revolution, one-third wanted to stay a colony, and one-third actually could care less either way. (Neutrality is bliss)

(2) A Rolls-Royce is the brand of the car Britain had that America dragged behind him in that episode in World Series that he wanted to borrow from him.

(3) Britain owed America hundreds of billions of dollars from borrowing during WW2 and handed over all the gold that he had in reserves and continued to pay in cash from exports after the war until 2006 before he was free from all U.S. debts. But seriously? 2006? About time, Britain.

Hope you enjoyed this! I think it turned out alright, but sorry if the song kinda sucks (I mean, of all the songs to write a song parody about, I get inspired by this one? I'll try using a better song next time) and that it wasn't that well-written. But it was still a bunch of fun writing this and I plan on writing some other song parodies when I have spare time so I could use any feedback, positive, negative, anything that could help me improve my writing. Now I should get back to writing RRR. But until then, ciao!
