"Rise Up" from "The Tea Party Movie" - Jeremy Hoop

"I regard myself as a soldier...a soldier of peace." - Ghandi

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. They are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty...the pursuit of happiness." - The Declaration of Independence

I regard myself as a soldier...a soldier of peace.

Rise up, Rise up, Rise up

Lookin' at millions under a circus tent
Watchin' a jackass chase a dumb pachyderm     Oh what a show!

Tappin' on any shoulder that I can find
Of anyone on there who might change their mind    It's time to go.

To the real world outside with those pirate ships
The drunken sailors with dirty lips     That rule the night

Shoutin' don't be afraid of those wicked men
There's more of us than there are of them      Come join the fight!

Rise up and be counted

Take your part in the solution
Linking arm in arm, to arms, to arms

Lower your guns and raise your voices
Join the peaceful revolution

Shout I'm mad as hell
and I will ring the bell of freedom

Ride with me from Boston to Phili to LA
With reason come marching
With knowledge come drumming
Let everyone hear you
Each soul that is near you
The British are coming! the British are coming!

We built a house of sticks a hall of parlor tricks
But we blame it all on our politics    Oh what a shame!

Truth is the cancer ain't just in the head
Half the body's nearly dead     We're all to blame

Time to pledge no more standing on one thin leg
Lack of principle's a powder-keg      And we can't wait

If we just say what we mean mean what we say
Take back the power we gave away

It's not too late - Grab your tea and follow me

Rise up and be counted

Take your part in the solution
Linking arm in arm with words as arms
Lower your guns and raise your voices
Join the peaceful revolution

Have you an ear to hear, an eye that sees us
We come in the Spirit of Martin, of Ghandi, of Jesus
Holding fast to the words with the power that frees us

Rise up. Make your choices

Choose the peaceful revolution
Sell what you have to sell so the devil can tell
Then let them raise their hell
And we will ring the bell of freedom     The bell of freedom     The bell of freedom
