Fourth Of July Lyrics

Fourth Of July lyrics

Like you I've been hurt, seen my face in the dirt

But I never reacted like you

The last time we met, you seemed so upset

When you left town you did not say bye



Then I heard, you'd been seen way down in Eugene

Working as a factory slave

And though the life that you took came from no storybook

You spent it before it was saved



On the Fourth of July

Is a good day to die

They'll celebrate each year

Your independence from here



If you only had just a glimmer of hope

Then I know you'd have done some great things

But you tossed out your gift and it's making me wish

I'd been there when you found yourself down



But you turned to no one but a bullet and a gun

And the bang blended in with the day

And I sit here and think

It still hurts me to think of the sad songs we used to play



On the Fourth of July

See the sparks in the sky

When you're sick of the trying

and you're tired of the crying



Then the Fourth of July

Is a good day to die

They'll celebrate each year

Your independence from here
