The American Tea Party Anthem
Posted on 04.03.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 12:11 pm

Every great movement needs an anthem, and now the anti-tax “tea partymovement sweeping the country has one — courtesy of singer/songwriter Lloyd Marcus who also is president of the National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color.

The lyrics are inspirational (read them in full in the extended entry), the music is catchy and the video captures the spirit of the “tea party” movement in pictures from anti-tax protests.

Verse 1
Your stimulus is sure to bust
It’s just a socialistic scheme
The only thing it will do
Is kill the American dream
You wanna take from achievers
Somehow you think that’s fair
And redistribute to those folks
Who won’t get out of their easy chair

Chorus
We’re havin’ a tea party across this land
If you love this country, come on and join our band
We’re standin’ up for freedom and liberty
‘Cause patriots have shown us freedom ain’t free

Verse 2
So when they call you a racist
‘Cause you disagree
It’s just another of their dirty tricks
To silence you and me
I believe in the Constitution
And all it stands for
Anyone who tramples it
Should be booted out the door

Chorus

Verse 3
Now we’re not advocating violence
That’s what the so-called peace crowd do
We’re talkin’ peaceful protest
To defend the red, white and blue
We gotta vote out these clowns
Who don’t love the USA
Stay up late, losing sleep
Fearing what the French might say

Chorus
(repeat twice)

Closing (As background singers say “freedom ain’t free” repeatedly)
Stand up for America
Gotta take a stand
Mr. Obama
We work hard for our money
Don’t give it away
Save the day
Don’t go givin’ it away
It ain’t gonna work
Give back our freedom
Give back our liberty
I love my country
