REMEMBERING AMERICA`S WAR OF INDEPENDENCE

We have been thinking about it In Detroit, in Alabama and in New Jersey We have thought long and hard We have spent sleepless nights over it Yet we can`t still put a finger on it Right now, we feel like hapless and beleaguered couples Marooned in the middle of the ocean For no good reason. If Adrian were here And the Californian coast was clear Even if the federal flag were flown at half mast Things might be different But if George III and Lord North were the next There would still be a stalemate Because the king would insist it was all a mere skirmish While we were sure it was a civil war we would win.
