The Reason We Revolted - Country Rock

We didn’t throw that tea for cheaper drinks We did it ‘cause King George ignored what we think No voice, no vote, just rules from a throne Sound familiar? You're not alone Tariffs are taxation without representation That’s the reason we revolted, that’s the birth of this nation King George did it then, now it’s Trump again Freedom doesn’t come from a rich man’s pen He slaps a fee on everything we buy Then says it’s strong to bleed us dry No bill, no hearing, no citizen’s word Just backroom deals and flag-pin slurs Tariffs are taxation without representation That’s the reason we revolted, that’s the birth of this nation King George did it then, now it’s Trump again Freedom doesn’t come from a rich man’s pen Don’t wave that flag while you rig the game You can’t steal the cause and leave the name We’re gonna liberate America from your rule ‘Cause freedom ain’t a toy for a coward and a fool Tariffs are taxation without representation That’s the reason we revolted, that’s the birth of this nation We said no kings — we said no lies Now we say it again with fire in our eyes
