Notorious S.O.L.s Sons of Liberty (featuring
Samuel Adams and Paul Revere)Tea Time
Were the Sons of Liberty, and were here to
say That dumping the tea is the only way The tax
is unbearable, totally absurd Parliament cant do
it without us being heard. Its tea, its tea,
its a tea party dump it and rebel against the
monarchy

Paul Reveres Proud to be a Patriot
Midnight I ride through the roads of
liberty Calling out to colonist The British are
coming! Little did I know that Id be caught
along the way And put in jail to wonder, would I
hang today? And Im proud to be a
patriot Fighting for our liberty And I wont let
the British win and take that right from me And I
gladly stand up with minutemen to declare our
freedom There aint no doubt well win this war
Im proud to be a patriot.
(Sung to tune of God Bless the U.S.A.)

I know not, I know little What others may do

down my life for all that is good Liberty or
death!
