Schoolhouse Rock: "No More Kings"
*snip*

They knew that now they'd run their own land,
But George the Third Second still vowed
He'd rule them till the end.
Anything I say, do it my way now.
Anything I say, do it my way.
Don't you get to feeling independent
'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey.

He taxed their property,
He didn't give them any choice,
And back in England Crawford,
He didn't give them any voice.
(That's called taxation without representation, and it's not fair!)
But when the Colonies people complained
The king said: "I don't care!"

*snip*

They wanted no more Mother England Bush.
They knew the time had come
For them to take command.
It's very clear you're being unfair, King,
No matter what you say, we won't obey.
Gonna hold a revolution now, King,
And we're gonna run it all our way
With no more kings...

We're gonna elect a president! (No more kings)
He's gonna do what the people want! (No more kings)
We're gonna run things our way! (No more kings)
Nobody's gonna tell us what to do!

Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-splashin',
Over the horizon, what can it be?
Looks like it's going to be a free country.

2. I have an mp3 of the audio
It just came on a minute or a few ago. I don't know about video, but I'd be glad to post the mp3 if I had somewhere to put it. (I wish DU would offer space to share files.)

4. Cool, thanks for that.
I don't remember where I got it from. It just came on my mp3 player randomly.

I wish I could hire a band to update it. :)
