Never enough celebrating Independence Day.
|
It was never enough to celebrate the eve of New Year’s Day.
|
What about my friends and me, can we have our say?
|
‘Cuz all our many enemies need to be blown away.
|
Ain’t no sting like a bottlerocket burrowing
|
Deep into the side of your face.
|
Have you ever felt the big welt
|
That a Roman candle leaves in its place?
|
The woods in the neighborhood are worth getting put in jail.
|
We’ll fight ‘em in the tunnels and we’ll fight ‘em in the swamps
|
And they’ll never get past never gonna go!
|
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit.
|
We never asked if we should
|
It’s a game, it’s a chore, it’s a bottlerocket war
|
And life never got so good.
|
Build a pile, everything we bought from Crazy Bill.
|
Crazy Bob, and Crazy Ken,
|
They’d sober up if they knew about The Plan.
|
We got enough pyrotechnics to fill up a wagon
|
Like a Chinese party in the year of the dragon.
|
I’m standing next to Poe and this is what he said:
|
“Chuck can lift a manhole cover with his head!”
|
Here we go!
|
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit.
|
We never asked if we should
|
It’s a game, it’s a chore, it’s a bottlerocket war
|
And life never got so good.
|
We’re just trying to have some fun.
|
We’re not hurting anyone.
|
The lights burst like magic spells
|
And make a sweet sound like bells.
|
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit.
|
We never asked if we should.It’s a game, it’s a chore, it’s a bottlerocket war
|
And life never got so good.
