No More Kings Lyrics      Schoolhouse Rock<br />Lyrics:Rockin' and a-rollin', splishin' and a-splashin',Over the horizon, what can it be?The pilgrims sailed the seaTo find a place to call their own.In their ship Mayflower,They hoped to find a better home.They finally knockedOn Plymouth RockAnd someone said, quot;
We're there.quot;
It may not look like homeBut at this point I don't care.Oh, they were missing Mother England,They swore their loyalty until the very end.Anything you say, King,It's OK, King,You know it's kinda scary on your own.Gonna build a new landThe way we planned.Could you help us run it till it's grown?They planted corn, you knowThey built their houses one by one,And bit by bit they workedUntil the colonies were done.They looked around,Yeah, up and down,And someone said, quot;
Hurray!quot;
If the king could only see us nowHe would be proud of us today.They knew that now they'd run their own land,But George the Third still vowedHe'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,He didn't give them any voice.(That's called taxation without representation,and it's not fair!)But when the Colonies complainedThe king said: quot;
I don't care!quot;
He even has the nerveTo tax our cup of tea.To put it kindly, King,We really don't agree.Gonna show you how we feel.We're gonna dump this teaAnd turn this harbor intoThe biggest cup of tea in history!They wanted no more Mother England.They knew the time had comeFor 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 wayWith 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.<br />
