Lyrics


Taking Down King George
Words and Music by Jon Milan

Calling on Molly, calling on Tom
Calling on Abigail and calling on John
Calling on Crispus, Calling on Paul
Is anybody there, does anyone here recall?
A time when despots forced our hand
We all joined up to take a stand
When the questions bore just one solution
Remember we were borne of revolution 
Taking down King George
With ropes we pulled him down
King George
With ropes we came unbound
King George
We all came together with united
front
Remember how we all fought back when we’d had enough?

 

Calling on Martha, Calling on George
Calling anybody left at Valley Forge
Calling on Warren, dying on the hill
Listen very hard, I think I hear him still 

Reminding us we were forced to bear
A government’s own self-serving fare
The subjects charged to stay the crown
Aren’t you glad those days are gone? 

Chorus

A time when the image of a statue downed
Made us cheer and made us proud
When broken idols fired the throng
I guess those days are over now
