Sons of Liberty

[SAM ADAMS]
Listen, John
A revolution is what we need
And we’ve sort of formed one already
But we need a cool name
To bring traction to our cause

Like what’s the word for freedom
Liberty, that’s our name
We were supposed to be born under it

So we’re Sons of Liberty
The Sons of Liberty
Please take a stand
The Sons of Liberty
Fight hand-in-hand

Call the Minutemen
Call the militia
And we’re set for Liberty

Because we’re God’s gift
Liberty is His gift
And that’s what we’re fighting for

John, this is my best idea
Surely the King will see us
As a threat for Great Britain

[HANCOCK]
Yeah, but who’s gonna lead us?

[SAM ADAMS]
Me, of course

[REVERE]
Over the next few weeks, Sam Adams and John Hancock started a revolutionary group as men began to join the “Sons of Liberty.”
This is where come in
I decided to join
But I hadn’t met him yet
So I decided to
But John Hancock was in the room!

[SAM ADAMS]
Listen, John, about this Paul Revere guy
He seems like a friendly face
I trust him

[REVERE]
He trusts me
May the Sons of Liberty
Take a stand
For the Sons of Liberty

[SAM ADAMS]
I presume you’re Paul Revere

[REVERE]
Yes I am

[SAM ADAMS]
And I see you’re here
To join the Sons of Liberty

[REVERE]
No, I’m already a Son
I just wanted to meet Sam Adams

[SAM ADAMS]
Listen, I like your work
I see you do not like violent protests
So I need you to make propaganda

[REVERE]
No can do
I will fight for my country
Until I’m in the ground

[SAM ADAMS]
I like your spirit Paul
Yet I don’t know what we’ll do
We don’t have guns
Nor brave members

[REVERE]
I think there’s something I can do
Call Doctor Warren
Have him steal gunpowder
Then make guns
And we’ll be set

[SAM ADAMS]
I need a strong man
To defeat the British

[REVERE]
Meet me on Thursday to discuss

[PROTESTER]
Mr. Sam Adams! There are many British men in Philadelphia that are harassing good men, including Doctor Warren

[REVERE]
This is important, Sam

[HANCOCK]
Don’t engage, Sam!

[REVERE]
Doctor Warren is a good man!

[SAM ADAMS]
Let’s go get the British. Revere, get the weapons

[HANCOCK]
You’re working with him?

[SAM ADAMS]
Let’s go get the British
Sons of Liberty, please take a stand
Sons of Liberty, let’s go, my men

Sons of Liberty
We’re gonna have some fun
We’re the Sons of Liberty
(We’re Sons!)
We’re Sons!
