Sons of Liberty

Sons of Liberty

By Amanda Pizzolatto 

 

This has to end, enough’s enough!

Rise up boys, the going is tough

And the tough have to get going

They’ve ignored pleas and bellowing

We must take action this very hour

To take back what is ours

Taxation needs representation

Or we will start our own nation

Take some action, toss the tea

Stand up and shout with me

 

Give me liberty or give me death

We will fight until our last breath

Get your guns and gather around

Keep on fighting, gain some ground

They won’t be able to keep us down

The British are marching into town

One if by land, two if by sea

We must outsmart the enemy

And the shot heard round the world

Means a new flag shall be unfurled

 

To arms, to arms, now it’s war

Freedom and rights are worth fighting for

A great military man has taken the lead

Seems greater-than-life atop his wondrous steed

All men report to General Washington

Under him, many battles were won

And soon we will have a brand new nation

All because of lack of representation

Thus the United States of America was born

Where freedom rings and justice is sworn
