Sons Of Liberty - Frank Turner[00:00:00]
Once an honest man could go from sunrise to its set[00:00:19]
Without encountering agents of his state or government[00:00:23]
But a sorry cloud of tyranny has fallen across the land[00:00:26]
Brought on by the hollow men who did not understand[00:00:30]
That for centuries our forefathers have fought and often died[00:00:34]
To keep themselves unto themselves to fight the rising tide[00:00:37]
That if in the smallest battles we surrender to the state[00:00:41]
We enter in a darkness whence we never shall escape[00:00:45]
When they raise their hands up our lives to possess[00:00:49]
To know our souls to drag us down we'll resist[00:01:01]
Watt Tyler led the people in 1381[00:01:11]
To meet the king at Smithfield to issue this demand[00:01:15]
That Winchester's should be the only law across the land[00:01:19]
The law of old King Alfred's time of free and honest men[00:01:23]
'Cause the people then they understood what we have since forgot[00:01:26]
That the government will only work for their own benefit[00:01:30]
And I'd rather stand up naked against the elements alone[00:01:33]
Than give the hollow men the right to enter in my home[00:01:38]
When they raise their hands up our lives to possess[00:01:42]
To know our souls to drag us down we'll resist[00:01:53]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight for what you own[00:03:05]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight fight for your homes[00:03:12]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight for what you own[00:03:19]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight fight for your homes[00:03:27]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight for what you own[00:03:34]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight fight for your homes[00:03:42]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight for what you own[00:03:49]
Stand up sons of liberty and fight fight for your homes[00:03:57]
So if ever a man should ask you for your business or your name[00:04:06]
Tell him to go and f**k himself tell his friends to do the same[00:04:10]
'Cause a man who'd trade his liberty for a safe and dreamless sleep[00:04:14]
Doesn't deserve the both of them and neither shall he keep[00:04:18]
