Chicago Tax Day Tea Party - April 15, 2010
| On a cold night in Boston, three ships in the dock With their valuable cargo still waiting to stock But the colonists wont pay the duty on tea And the governor wont let the ships out to sea Chorus: Sing - hey, hey, what do we say? American freedom is here to stay! Hey, hey, what do we say? Don't tax our freedom away! Now the Crown has been adding new fees by the score And the people don't think they can bear any more Yet they don't have a vote, so they don't have a say And they're starting to talk about breaking away (Chorus) | Now the people have gathered round the Old Meeting House If the governor listens, they'll still hear him out But Sam Adams, he reads the report with a frown So the people decide that the tea must do down (Chorus) So they don their disguises and clamber aboard And the governors tea is soon tossed overboard And the news spreads throughout the thirteen colonies That our country's new motto is Don't Tread On Me. (Chorus) Now today we have gathered--young, old, black, and white And we've all got the vote, so we don't need to fight But if Washington taxes our future away Then well throw them all out on Election Day! (Chorus) |
