WE THE PEOPLE:
Lyrics written and performed by DreamExtreme 5th Graders

As part of our collaborative poetry unit we rewrote the lyrics to Queen's classic song "We Will Rock You", giving it an American Revolution theme.
| VERSE 1 - THE BRITISH
Colonists, you're lazy
And a little crazy
Thinkin' you deserve the same rights as us
You make us angry
Dumpin' our tea
Believin' some day you're gonna be free
We will, we will tax you...
We will, we will tax you...
VERSE 2 - THE COLONISTS
Georgie, you're a mean king
Taxing ever-y-thing
We don't wanna be ruled by you
We're tired of this mess
Shoutin' with our last breath
Give us liberty or give us death!
We will, we will fight you
We will, we will fight you
VERSE 3 - THE NEW CITIZENS
Everybody's equal
A nation made of people
Declaring independence from the king
We have the right
To win this fight
Waving Old Glory all through the night
We the, we the people
We the, we the people | |
