Justice And Independence '85 |
| He was born on the fourth day of July |
| So his parents called him Independence Day |
| He married a girl named Justice who gave birth |
| To a son called Nation |
| Then she walked away |
| Independence he would daydream and he’d pretend |
| That someday him and Justice and Nation would get together again |
| But Justice held up in a shotgun shack |
| And she wouldn’t let nobody in |
| So a Nation cried |
| CHORUS |
| Oh Oh |
| When a Nation cries |
| His tears fall down like missiles from the skies |
| Justice look into Independence’s eyes |
| Can you make everyrhing alright |
| Can you keep your Nation warm tonight |
| Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation |
| Couldn’t keep the boy at home no no |
| He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round |
| Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed |
| When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame |
| Nation if you’ll just come home we’ll have this family again |
| Oh Nation don’t cry |
| CHORUS |
| Roll a rock across the Country |
| Everbody come along |
| When you’re feelin' down yeah yeah |
| Just sing this song yeah yeah |
