A declaration of the intention To stop extension into my airspace I'll put the flags up And then You know You're in a different place But I can't stand up And I can't sit down 'Cause a great big problem Stopped me in my tracks I can't relax 'Cause I haven't done a thing And I can't do a thing 'Cause I can't relax You've got Your habits, I've got my customs I'm sure. You know it's got to be this way No hesitation and in the future We'll celebrate On independence day But I can't stand up And I can't sit down 'Cause a great big problem Stopped me in my tracks I can't relax 'Cause I haven't done a thing And I can't do a thing 'Cause I can't relax Independence day, Iindependence day... Hung up the flags Ring in the new We should be dancing On the city streets I know the tune I know the words My mouth is open But I can not speak
