It started with something small
A wiretap, an indiscretion
Then it became an unsubstantiated fact
Rumors abound, there’s something else
below the surface
Or in the atmosphere, it’s watching over
us
Stand up
Don’t let them take your rights away
Stand up
Its time for us all to have our say
What are they looking for
I don’t believe I’ve had the
pleasure
What is their business being in my own
backyard
How do they know that I…
Oh no not that, no that was private
You tell me that privacy’s a legend of
the past
Stand up
Don’t let them take your rights away
Stand up
Its time for us all to have our say
Freedom begins at home
Let’s clear out all the back-room
dealing
Raise up our principles to where they should
be now
Did you imagine that America was run in
secret
When did you notice that your rights were
going fast.
Stand up
Don’t let your rights just drift
away
Stand up
Its time for us all to have our say
Stand up
I'm mad as Hell and not gonna take it any
more
Stand up
We’re gonna end their stupid war
"We the People of the United States, in Order
to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote the general Welfare, and
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of
America."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, --That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or
to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their Safety
and Happiness.
