The word is spreading quickly about Lloyd Marcus’ recently-recorded song, “American Tea Party.”
Lloyd Marcus
In a post yesterday afternoon, I declared that his song deserves to go down in history as the anthem of the American Tea Party Movement. Soon after, I sent an e-mail blast to nearly everyone I know — bloggers and journalists alike — in the conservative blogosphere. Within hours, the news had appeared on the front page of World Net Daily (without a hat tip to yours truly, but I digress).
WND describes Marcus as “an entertainer who proudly admits to being “an American Black Conservative” who has written a song in honor of the new nationwide “tea party” movement protesting Washington’s runaway spending.

The “American Tea Party lyrics (Copyright©2009 Zephyrus Music) appear below:
Mr President!
Your stimulus is sure to bust
Its just a socialistic scheme
The only thing it will do
Is kill the American Dream
You wanna take from achievers
Somehow you think that’s fair.
And redistribute to those folks
Who won’t get out of their easy chair
We’re havin’ a tea party across this land
If you love this country
Come on and join our band
We’re standin’ up for freedom and liberty
Cause patriots have shown us freedom ain’t free
So when they call you a racist cause you disagree
It just another of their dirty tricks to silence you and me.
I believe in the Constitution and all it stands for.
Anyone who tramples it should be booted out the door.
We’re havin’ a tea party across this land
If you love this country
Come on and join our band
We’re standin’ up for freedom and liberty
Cause patriots have shown us freedom ain’t free
Now we’re not advocating violence
That’s what the so-called peace crowd do
We’re talkin’ peaceful protest to defend the red, white and blue
We gotta vote out these clowns who don’t love the USA
Who stay up late losing sleep fearing what the French might say
We’re havin’ a tea party across this land
If you love this country
Come on and join our band
We’re standin’ up for freedom and liberty
Cause patriots have shown us freedom ain’t free
We’re havin’ a tea party across this land
If you love this country
Come on and join our band
We’re standin’ up for freedom and liberty
Cause patriots have shown us freedom ain’t free
Freedom ain’t free
(Stand up for America)
Freedom ain’t free
(Gotta take a stand)
Freedom ain’t free
(Mr Obama)
Freedom ain’t free
(we work hard for our money)
Freedom ain’t free
(Don’t give it away)
Freedom ain’t free
(Save the day)
Freedom ain’t free
(Don’t go givin’ it away)
Freedom ain’t free
(It ain’t gonna work)
Freedom ain’t free
(Give back our freedom)
Freedom ain’t free
(Give back our liberty)
Freedom ain’t free
(I love my country)

Saw the interview on Fox News and went to Youtube to listen to the song and guess what? The video is no longer posted.

Jake,
Rest assured, the original video is still posted here! Fox grabbed one a repost of the orginal after the song started to pick up steam.
