There once was a small group of folk

They believe that Freedom was no Joke

So they sailed far away

They were willing to pay

For these freedoms the fire was stoked
**************************
So the reason for fighting was quite clear

They all had ideals that were so dear

Yes their freedoms had worth

Gave this country its Birth

On their tongues saying “Freedom” you’ll hear!

There’s one thing I don’t understand
Where’s the cleanup most folks would demand?
Oh, say! Can you see?
We’re controlled by BP!
All that oil is their line in the sand.

So cross that line, and it is plain
You might not be seen here e’er again!
Does a Felony Class D
Get you sent ‘cross the sea
to an exile in which you’ll remain?

Our nation, so often storm-tossed
Is now to be seen, sadly, lost.
Its shroud tightly sewn,
Betrayed by our own;
Thirty pieces of silver it cost.

For what the whole thing is worth
This country gave me my birth
Here’s to you U.S.
You made me a mess
By steadily increasing my girth.
