The Declaration of Independence was so revolutionary, King George couldn't even feel his face after reading it! (Citation needed)

When in the Course of human events, it's necessary for some,
To dissolve political connections, they should give reasons,
And declare the causes which impel them to the separation,
This we know, this we know,

We hold these truths to be self-evident,
That all men are created equal,
Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness,
And Life are rights that are unalienable,

We declare independence from you,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,
We declare independence from you,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,

To secure these right governments are instituted by men,
The power to govern is from the consent of the governed,
But when a long train abuses becomes Despotism,
They must go, they must go,

We hold these truths to be self-evident,
That all men are created equal,
Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness,
And Life are rights that are unalienable,

We declare independence from you,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,
We declare independence from you,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,
The King has refused Assent to Laws,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,
Just check out all of these other causes,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,

Don't think we haven't Petitioned for Redress,
Only to be met with injury,
We now pledge our Lives, Fortune, and Honor,
That we are, and of Right ought to be Free,
We declare independence from you,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,
We declare independence from you,
Good-bye Britain, Good-bye Britain,
