I have rewritten the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne (Times Long Past) so that they are most appropriate for real American freedom lovers to sing on this New Year’s Eve. My lyrics are presented below, and you can hear my music video of the lyrics here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADFD-m9PcXc
Should old-time freedoms be forgot
And never brought to mind?
When liberty was once alive
But now so hard to find?
No, we cannot forget those times
Though they are now long past
Rebel against the government
And we can bring them back
Begin the new year with this vow
Ring loud your liberty bell
Reject the whole Establishment
Shout “You can go to Hell”
So drink a cup of courage now
And drink a cup of pride
Speak out the truth to power now
Do not believe their lies
We vow to go against the flow
From morning sun ‘til night
For freedom, it will swell again
We vow to always fight
Should old-time freedoms be forgot
And never brought to mind?
When liberty was once alive
But now so hard to find?
No, we cannot forget those times
Though they are now long past
Rebel against the government
And we can bring them back
America, we were born free
And shall be free again
If we the people stand up strong
The tyranny will end
America, we were born free
And shall be free again
If we the people stand up strong
The tyranny will end
Happy New Year!
