Do you want to lose a Civil War? Because this is a good way to lose popular support in a Civil War. There's a song about something like this before, and how it would go. ... How did it go... oh, yeah:
Why come ye hither red coats,
what minds with madness fills?
For there's danger in our forests,
and there's danger in our hills.
Oh, here ye not the ringing
of the bugle wild and free?
For soon you'll hear the ringing
of the rifle from the tree!
For the rifle,
For the rifle,
In our hands,
will prove no trifle.
I used to work in Chicago,
In an old department store,
I used to work in Chicago,
I don't work there anymore,
A blue helmet came in for a saw,
(A saw?)
A saw he wanted,
5-5-6 he did got,
I used to work in Chicago...
