While I'm a professional, one of my hobbies is songwriting (see this). I wrote this song for Independence Day a couple of years ago.
The king’s men
Have betrayed us
Tricked us out of
Our homes
No one else
Gonna save us
We must stand up
On our own
Divided
We’ve been conquered
For too long
We’ve played their game
United
We’d be invincible
So rise up
And shake off our chains
We’ve been fooled
By the banker
The sheriff
And the priest+
We’ve been ruled
By the con men
The scoundrels
And the thieves
Divided
We’ve been conquered
For too long
We’ve played their game
United
We’d be invincible
So rise up
And shake off our chains
Feel
The power
Streaming out
Through our souls
Now Is
The hour
Come together
And let’s roll
Here we are
In the meadow
It is time to
Decide
From afar
The army’s nearing
Are we slaves or
Will we fight?
Divided
We’ve been conquered
For too long
We’ve played their game
United
We’d be invincible
So rise up
And shake off our chains
Feel
The power
Streaming out
Through our souls
Now Is
The hour
Come together
And let’s roll
+Notes on the words:
I have nothing against priests. I'm only talking about corrupt priests and false prophets.
I have nothing against home town, Main Street bankers. I'm only talking about banskters.
When I talk about "the army approaching", I'm not talking about fighting our good men and women who honorably serve our country to protect and defend the Constitution and protect our national security. I'm talking about mercenaries who are fighting against the American people.
If you’re an atheist, think of "feel the power streaming out through our souls" as referring to our source of courage, or just change the last word to “soles”.
Notes on the music: The song has a feel like an old Irish fighting song. The drums are similar to U2’s “Bloody Sunday".
