Enrichment Video Clip- Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration
The music in this music video is based on the song "Apologize" by One Republic, featuring Timbaland, from 2007.
Here are the lyrics. Enjoy! Halfway across the globe And we're standing on new ground Screaming 'cross the waves You can't hear a sound There's no fair trials, no trade, no liberties No tea We've colonized America; we won't stand for tyranny, Oh king And it's too late to apologize It's too late I said it's too late to apologize It's too late We've paid your foolish tax, read the acts And they just won't do We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true All men were created with certain Unalienable rights Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness And it's too late to apologize It's too late I said It's too late to apologize It's too late It's too late to apologize It's too late I said it's too late apologize It's too late I said it's too late to apologize, yeah It's too late I said it's too late to apologize, yeah Halfway across the globe And we're standing on new ground |
