Replay Revolution

Lyrics to Replay Revolution

British was so unfair to us, so we made a secret society... called the Sons of Liberty, called the Sons of Liberty-y-y-y-y
Peaceful protests and boycotts against British policies... called the Sons of Liberty, called the Sons of Liberty-y-y-y-y

Stamp Act law forced American colonists to pay direct taxes by purchasing a stamp to show that a tax had been paid for items such as playing card, newspapers, commercial and legal documents. But this act was repealed in 1766 by Parliament.

British, had to pay some expenses
British, made the Townshend Acts
British, just started taxing imports
And they made the colonists house troops.

British thought it would anger colonists less if they didn't directly tax them with stamps. They were wrong and protests broke out. They were wrong and protests broke out, broke out.

Because of all the colonists' protests, they decided to repeal the acts. Except they kept the tax on the tea. Except they kept the tax on the tea, the tea.

The tax on the tea remained
And they called it the Tea Act
It caused smugglers
to pay tea taxes
Angered shippers and merchants.
British East India... controlled the American tea trade.
So the colonists went into rebellion against the Tea Act...
A group of colonists organized by the Sons of Liberty dressed as Native Americans boarded three British ships... ohhh

The colonists dumped three hundred forty two chests of tea into the Boston Harbor, the Boston Harbor-or-or
This is the Boston Tea Party by the colonists this angered King George this angered King George ... ohhh

The Intolerable Acts passed by the British Parliament to punish the colony of Massachuesetts for their part in the Tea Party.

Ay, and to serve as a warning to other colonies
The closing of Boston Harbor, and banned committees of correspondence.

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
British got em mad

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
British got em mad

British was so unfair to us, so we went to war and we won the Revolution, we won the Revolution-on-on-on-on
Colonists declared their independence from the British, and now we are the United, United States of America-a-a-a!

DON'T!..... TREAD!.... ON!.... MEEE!!!!!!
