Amazing song Friend ,Veey Cool Track!!,Beautiful Atmosphere!!💯🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻👌

A patriotic piece of Americana here (though I'm a Brit!), detailing the lead-up to the 1775 War Of Independence/Revolutionary War. More like a rousing anthem! My lyrics, Rob L's music/vocals. Copyright 2008 Jay Rich and Rob L. Lyrics below:

                 Lexington Green

V1: 

Twelve long years of new fiscal impositions
Have finally met with determined opposition
Britannia's demands and her trading regulations
Are starting to sour our once friendly relations
She hampers our economy; she should tamper less
And resentment's building, though without redress
Our grievances all sidelined, are they even heard?
For who can rely on that old tyrant George the Third

Lift1:

It seems like forever that we've made objections
Now backed up by action in the boldest insurrection
Brits misread the signs of disenchanted times
With militia farmers now forming battle lines

Ch1:

That was the starting point:
That's where it all began
The fight for our rights
To our brave new land
The way ahead was tough:
The bid for freedom long
But we took our first decisive step
On the green at Lexington

V2:

Britannia, you oppress us: your conduct is unjust
We surely won't be used by you then ground into the dust
Feelings have been running high right across our nation
Ever since taxation without representation
You grasp yet more revenue for our governance
But from this heavy burden we seek deliverance
Since when has an American sat in your parliament?
The time has come for us to demand self-government

Lift2:

Thirteen seaboard colonies will be United States
We'd fight for independence: for the highest stakes
And a many-signatured, official declaration
Will give us a coveted new liberated nation

Ch2:

That was our finest hour:
That initial stand
Half our numbers firm
Almost to a man
The road ahead was rough
But desire for freedom strong
When we took that first momentous step
On the green of Lexington

Ch3:

Tom Paine and Paul Revere
And General Washington
Saratoga, Valley Forge
Crossing off of Trenton
And French aid helped turn the tide
Finally at Yorktown
But the Minutemen began it
On the green of Lexington

*****Break*****

Ch4:

We stood patriotic, loyal, brave, and strong
On that historic battlefield at fateful Lexington
We fought because we felt
To do less would be wrong
And it all started on
The green of Lexington
The green of Lexington

Missed the sound of my beautiful harpsichord and wanted to get back to my  symphonic meets  beats  phase  lately. As I put this together I am just reminiscent of the winter wonderland outside...

Electric Winter Sonnet

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..
