No More Kings
Various Artists Rockin'and rollin', splishin'and aOver the horizon, what can it be? The pilgrims sailed the sea To find a place to call their own. In their ship, Mayflower, They finally knocked They hoped to find a better home. On Plymouth Rock And someone said, "We're there." It may not look like home But at this point I don't care. Oh, they were missing Mother England, Anything you say, King, They swore their loyalty until the very end. It's OK, King, You know it's kinda scary on your own. The way we planned. Gonna build a new land Could you help us run it till it's grown? They planted corn, you know They built their houses one by one, And bit by bit they worked Until the colonies were done. They looked around, Yeah, up and down, And someone said, "Hurray!" If the king could only see us now He would be proud of us today. They knew that now they'd run their own land, He'd rule them to the end. But George the Third still vowed Anything I say, do it my way. Anything I say, do it my way now. Don't you get to feeling independent 'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey. He taxed their property, He didn't give them any choice, He didn't give them any voice. And back in England And it's not fair!) (That's called taxation without representation, But when the Colonies complained The king said: "I don't care!" He even has the nerve To put it kindly, King, To tax our cup of tea. We really don't agree. Gonna show you how we feel. We're gonna dump this tea And turn this harbor into The biggest cup of tea in history! They wanted no more Mother England. They knew the time had come For them to take command. It's very clear you're being unfair, King, Gonna hold a revolution now, King, No matter what you say, we won't obey. And we're gonna run it all our way We're gonna elect a president! (No more kings) With no more kings ... We're gonna run things our way! (No more kings) He's gonna do what the people want! (No more kings) Nobody's gonna tell us what to do! Rockin' and rollin', splishin'and a Over the horizon, what can it be? Looks like it's going to be a free country. (Applause |
