LYRICS:
Give me liberty or give me death!
Let us fight for independence up until our final breath!
The one regret that we should all have in our minds
We only have one life to give up for the future of mankind!

April Fools! A jestful jab!
How about we give ourselves free health care
and stick our grandkids with the tab?
I'm talking penis pills for you and you and you!
April Fools! April Fools! April Fools!

Four score and seven years has been the span
Fair weather brought a crowd I see
you all must be Penguins fans
Thousands sacrificed their lives upon this turf
To ensure that a free nation shall not perish from the earth!

April Fools! A playful plea!
They died so we could monitor your browser history
and use your phone to watch you number two
Must we give thought to the price paid by these tools?! (No!)
April Fools! April Fools! April Fools!

Ask not about yourself
Ask what you can do for your country
leave selfishness on the shelf
May the communists abroad hear this reprise
We shall pay any cost to ensure that liberty survives!

April Fools! Just cheeky chants!
There's a missile crisis! Yes and it is happening in your pants
So take these free pills, we'll send China IOUs
April Fools! April Fools! April Fools!

April Fools! They died in vain!
Life is dangerous, just ask people under Harrison Ford's planes
Must we give thought to the price paid by these tools?
April Fools! April Fools! April Fools!

A federal workforce so small and lean!
Will they be fluent in Latin?
Yes! Well, if you count "per diem"…

I'm talking free stuff for you and you and you
and you and you and you and you and you
and you and you and you and you...
