Happy birthday, America
... and a very happy Tuesday to the rest of us.
Youtube being Youtube, I'm not 100% sure this video will be visible to the non-Americans, but then being a bit US-centric on today of all days feels about par for the course. So for the rest of you, the words are a treat in themself.
A second flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts anywhere
Or a cataclysmic earthquake I'd accept with some despair.
But no: you sent us Congress.
Good God, Sir, was that fair?
I say this with humility in Philadelphia:
We're Your responsibility in Philadelphia.
If you don't want to see us hanging from some far-off British hill,
If you don't want the voice of independency forever stilled,
Then God, Sir, get thee to it:
For Congress never will.
