noospheratu - he has combined (george iii diss) lyrics

he has combined with others to subject us
to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution
and unacknowledged by our laws
giving his assent to their acts of
pretended legislation

for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us
for protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment
for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants
of these states for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world
for imposing taxes on us without our consent
for depriving us in many cases of the benefits
of trial by jury: for transporting us
beyond seas to be tried for pretended offеnces

for abolishing the free system of english laws in a nеighbouring
province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its
boundaries so as to render it
at once an example and fit instrument
for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies
for taking away our charters, abolishing
our most valuable laws
and altering fundamentally the forms
of our governments: for suspending
our own legislatures, and declaring themselves
invested with power to legislate
for us in all cases whatsoever
he has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his
protection and waging war against us
he has plundered our seas
ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed
the lives of our people. he is at this time
transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries
to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny
already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages
and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation

he has constrained our fellow
citizens taken captive on the high
seas to bear arms against their
country, to become the executioners of their friends and
brethren or to fall them+selves by their hands
he has excited domestic
insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured
to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers
the merciless indian savages
whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages s+xes and conditions

in every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned
for redress in the most humble terms
our repeated our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated repeated
repeated repeated injury
a prince whose character is
thus marked by every act which
may define a tyrant, is unfit
to be the ruler of a free people
to be the ruler of a free people
to be the ruler of a free people
