It's "Too Late"?! See/enjoy this GREAT new Anthem of the Revolution. Perhaps, as Jefferson suggests, we need an anthem like this for our time

February 6th, 2010 No comments

There’s a nice little music video out – just released by a speciality history curriiculum publishing firm – with a hsitory lesson that really seems to be hitting a chord with the growing chorus of people who are upset with government (including Glenn Reynolds, Moe Lane and some others – I expect the left to catch on as well).

It’s called “Too Late to Apologize: a Declaration“, and stars Thomas Jefferson as lead vocalist/keyboardist, John Hancock, John Adams, Sam Adams, Benjamin Franklin on guitar and King George.

I love it, and I’s sure you’ll like it too.

Maybe some stirred up watchers can suggest some lyric tweaks to bring this up to date for our latest usurpers? There are plenty of good targets, such as:

  • our runaway federal government and the politicians who pander to us and distract us with wars & shallow, divisive political drama, while spreading pork and legislative & regulatory largess to favored corporations,
  • the powerful corporations (including our corporate “news” conglomerates) that our Founders were determined to oppose – but
    which hijacked the 14th Amendment to trump local/states rights and become “persons” with unalienable rights
    (now even under the Bill of Rights!), and the
    Supreme Court that has arrogated to itself the right to turn the
    Constitution into whatever they say it means, thus aiding both a
    grasping central government and the corporate-tied elites who direct it.

Without further ado, here’s the video! (lyrics below)

Lyrics:

Halfway across the globe
And we’re standing on new ground
Screaming ‘cross the waves
You can’t hear a sound
There’s no fair trials, no trade, no liberties
No tea
We’ve colonized America; we won’t stand for tyranny,
Oh king

And it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late

We’ve paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just won’t do
We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true
All men were created with certain

Unalienable rights
Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness

And it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late

It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late apologize
It’s too late

I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah

Halfway across the globe
And we’re standing on new ground
