He was born on the fourth day of July
3
So his parents called him Independence Day
4
He married a girl named Justice who gave birth
5
to a son called Nation
6
Then she walked away
7
Independence he would daydream and he'd pretend
8
That someday him and Justice and Nation would get together again
9
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack
10
And she wouldn't let nobody in
11
So a Nation cried
12
CHORUS
13
Oh Oh
14
When a Nation cries
15
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies
16
Justice look into Independence's eyes
17
Can you make everyrhing alright
18
Can you keep your Nation warm tonight
19
Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation
20
Couldn't keep the boy at home no no
21
He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
22
Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed
23
When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame
24
Nation if you'll just come home we'll have this family again
25
Oh Nation don't cry
26
CHORUS
27
Roll a rock across the Country
28
Everbody come along
29
When you're feelin' down yeah yeah
30
Just sing this song yeah yeah
