The Redeclaration
This is a re-declaration
Of these people's independence
From the recent invasion
Of this treasonous senate
And unreasonable tenants
In the the house we invented
As a means to represent us
But til now have just pretended
To have us at the end of
All the means that they've used
As so-called means of protection
From all the enemies we've collected
With their unfeasible methods
That turned our fees into debts
And stripped our creed of its credit
As the freedom providers
That now create freedom fighters
Who fight with reason against us
Because the power-fiends we've elected
Don't know the meaning of ethics
Or how to be sympathetic
Whose only reasons and methods
Go to please their investments
With no way that we can prevent them
From doing what they please with their power
'Cause we as people have no voice in selecting
Who we get as choices in elections
Red or Blue it doesn't matter
Both have royal intentions
Like the King who came before them
Who we destroyed in the revo-
Lution that made this soil a legend.
