[VERSE 1]
In p[Am]hiladelphia in 76 the fou[C]ndations were l[Am]aid
A w[Am]ar fought for our freedoms the ul[C]timate price they [Am]paid
In [Am]the birthplace of Liberty these [C]men arranged the wo[Am]rds
Th[Am]at have never been equalled... [C]since or bef[Am]ore
No [Am]royalty could rule us, no ki[C]ng would comm[Am]and
ea[Am]ch man his own ruler sec[C]ured by the p[Am]lan
As [Am]they each laid pen to paper their own n[C]ames to s[Am]ign
On J[Am]uly 4th at Chestnut street each man [C]knew they'd crossed the [Am]line
[CHORUS]
But wh[E]at would our founders say... if th[Asus2]ey could see us today
tradi[E]ng votes for empty promises that[Asus2] nobody pays
Would W[E]ashington say... that they d[Asus2]ied in vain
Would h[E]e think their sacrifice worth[Asus2] the blood and pain
Would J[E]efferson dismay... how freedoms were t[Asus2]raded away
for uto[E]pian assurances of [Asus2]better days
Would F[E]ranklin believe... the fools ba[Asus2]rgain we made
in the[E] name of progress, se[Bm]curity and equ[Asus2]ality
[VERSE 2]
Wa[Am]shington with just 2 ter[C]ms ... from power stepped [Am]away
No[Am] man would dishonor the precedent til Roose[C]velt's dystopian dis[Am]play
The [Am]depresion struck, the people prayed to g[C]overnment for the a[Am]snwers
now [Am]the unchained bureacracy grows and c[C]hokes us like a can[Am]cer
Famil[Am]ies replaced, government programs ar[C]e now our fath[Am]ers
Work [Am]used to bring pride to men.... now no [C]one seems to b[Am]other
lobby[Am]ist, groups, and donors [C]now own our cou[Am]ntry
None[Am] of this the vision the founders [C]had for our libe[Am]rty
[CHORUS]
But wh[E]at would our founders say... if th[Asus2]ey could see us today
tradi[E]ng votes for empty promises that[Asus2] nobody pays
Would W[E]ashington say... that they [Asus2]died in vain
Would h[E]e think their sacrifice wo[Asus2]rth the blood and pain
Would J[E]efferson dismay... how freedoms were [Asus2]traded away
for uto[E]pian assurances of b[Asus2]etter days
Would F[E]ranklin believe... the fools[Asus2] bargain we made
in the[E] name of progress, se[Bm]curity and equ[Asus2]ality
