This song goes over the brief skirmish in Golden Hill, New York between Isaac Sears, the Sons of Liberty, and the British troops led by General Gage.
Takes place in 1770
[GENERAL GAGE]
Your “liberty poles”
Will never be a thing
How dare you ever try to form
A revolution
The King is trying
To get you in shape
And you laugh
Why would you ever try
To break free from Britain
When would that be helpful
[SONS OF LIBERTY]
King George is oppressing us
What could we do?
These liberty poles
Will help us draw a toll
To the Sons of Liberty
[GENERAL GAGE]
You mean Sons of Anarchy
Why would I believe
A stupid rebel group that isn’t
Helping me or anybody
[ISAAC SEARS]
What can I say?
What will I do?
Who can I turn to?
The Sons must have some justice
[PROTESTER]
Mr. Sears, look
Some British putting up
Propaganda to bring down
The colonies
[ISAAC SEARS]
Yes, we must have some justice
Yes, we must
[BRITISH]
Look at these posters
You think people will not try
To take them down?
What do you take these men for?
[ISAAC SEARS]
I take them for fools
Of their own gain
[BRITISH
Take hold of these men before things get worse!
[ISAAC SEARS]
You’re right - they will
[Fighting between the SONS OF LIBERTY. One man gets thrown against a wall, and starts dying.]
[PROTESTER]
Sir Sears! A man down!
[He dies.]
[SONS OF LIBERTY]
We must fight for the right
For the United States of America!
