The skys lighting up and everybody's so high Come take my hand its the fourth of July God bless America and all of that shit I should probably feel better but I feel I should quit So raise a flag for the boys who've paid their dues So I could be free here to live with these blues No it doesn't seem right everybody's so high And I'm crying the blues on the fourth of July Take a walk downtown it's a beautiful day Smoke a cigarette, watch the parade We'll sing God bless America and all of that stuff I should probably feel better, I've had enough So raise a flag for the boys who've paid their dues So I could be free here to live with these blues No it doesn't seem right everybody's so high And I'm crying the blues on the fourth of July No it doesn't seem right everybody's so high And I'm crying the blues on the fourth of July
