Santa
Ana and Mission Viejo Tea Party Rallys
In the home
of the brave and the land of the free
Across our
great nation from sea to shining sea
There's something
that' stirring, a movement's at hand
As the rustling
of tea bag's are heard 'cross the land
The people
are talking of hope and of change
And all that
we have to give up in exchange
Are all of
the things to which we hold dear
So these
teabags are symbols for what must be made clear
"The
Great Experiment" that's America is not failing or wrong
Though many
today are sure singing that song
Its not that
its broken, it has worked just great
And my friends
this is just what we are here to debate
A limited
government is what our forefathers planned
With citizen
legislators who'd travel the land
And meet
to insure a few simple principles were kept
But sadly
it seems, things have changed while we slept
So now instead
of protecting our liberties and rights
Securing
our borders and resolving our fights
Our governments
decided in this New World Order Day
To redistribute
our wealth and decide who should pay
They're bailing
out businesses too big to fail
And spending
so much and on such a huge scale
Creating
a debt that our children must bear
With
a "tax
the rich" cry that all know is unfair
The deficits
rising so fast we can't count
As the bills
and the budgets and the promises mount
In less than
3 months, the debt to be paid
Has grown
to the point that we now feel betrayed
The 545 folks
we've entrusted
Are playing
a game that leaves us disgusted
Between favors
they're granting and elite goodies they're thrown
Make it look
like the whole gangs run by Michael Corleone
With congress'
approval rate lower than low
We continue
to watch wondering how low it will go
And yet its
we who continue to give them our consent
With an incumbency
rate of over 90%
Now they're
punishing progress and rewarding the few
Who didn't
keep up and who failed to construe
A commitment
to living the life that you choose
Does not
mean a hand out or any sort of excuse
Its time
to stand up and declare, no more
As much as
they'd like to, we're going to be hard to ignore!
For the powers
in the people, well its supposed to be
As a great
roar's heard across this nation: Don't Tread on Me!
Our founders
wouldn't have it, as they took to the street
And dumped
the tea in the harbor and feared not for defeat
If ever there
was a time to look to history and be stirred
In the tradition
of our fathers, its time to stand up and be heard
That this
land that we love and of which we're so proud
The reason
we're standing here today in this crowd
Must return
to the principles and correct the mistake
That we can
never no matter spend more than we make!
That the
fruits of our labors are ours to keep
That like
any harvest, you sow what you reap
You get what
you give, a little or a lot
That our
laws are for everyone, elected or not
That the
strength of our land is the strength of our choice
We expect
to be heard as we speak with one voice
That our
government be returned, from where it was once before
And
be a government of the people, by the people and for the people,
once more!
