Snap, crackle, pop we celebrate the fourth
Taxes were too high; we said ‘It must stop’
But the Brits were greedy, the king’s a prop
And we fought his highness for all our worth
Blood flowed in the streets, seeped into the earth
The Red Coats with their thousands of troops
Guns to fight them came from the blacksmith shop
From the greedy tyranny came our birth
In 1776 we fought
In the civil war we set the slaves free
In the world wars it was Europe’s turn
American men died so freedom could be bought
And put an end to social slavery
“Give me Liberty or give me death”, LEARN!
