Long ago a land was built
To be a shining city on a hill
No kings, no aristocracy
Just a belief in liberty
And the tale that they were told in school
Always follow this golden rule
George Washington and the cherry tree
Truth will set the people free
But the truth is hard to take
When your livelihood's at stake
Better cover your mistakes
And the buck doesn't stop here no more
The buck doesn't stop here no more
And so all the people saw
That no one was above the law
They took pride in their democracy
All were equal, eventually
But equal rights means equal say
And some folk didn't like the way
While their views were duly noted
Come election time, they were out-voted
To be a shining city on a hill
No kings, no aristocracy
Just a belief in liberty
And the tale that they were told in school
Always follow this golden rule
George Washington and the cherry tree
Truth will set the people free
But the truth is hard to take
When your livelihood's at stake
Better cover your mistakes
And the buck doesn't stop here no more
The buck doesn't stop here no more
And so all the people saw
That no one was above the law
They took pride in their democracy
All were equal, eventually
But equal rights means equal say
And some folk didn't like the way
While their views were duly noted
Come election time, they were out-voted
