Story Behind The Song

A view point about how Americans behave so differently on July 4th (and every other day). Many people don't realize how lucky they are. Living in America really is a luxury - but many don't comprehend such luck. My observations were put into song. This was written on the 4th of July.

Song Description

An upbeat, happy, thought provoking anthem dedicated to the fourth of July.

Lyrics

4th of July

What you gonna do on the 4th of July,
Paint a pretty picture or learn how to fly.
What you gonna do on the 4th of July.
Get together with your friends and drink til you dry.

Every day when you wake up your world is filled with freedom.
Every chance that you will get ? it all comes down to freedom.
Having all the luxuries of life will keep you breathing.
Like the 4th of July ? Independence isn?t leaving!

What you gonna do on the 4th of July,
Watch all the fireworks flying so high.
What you gonna do on the 4th of July,
Sit and watch the TV showing movies about spies.

Every day when you wake up your world is filled with freedom.
Every chance that you will get ? it all comes down to freedom.
Having all the luxuries of life will keep you breathing.
Like the 4th of July ? Independence isn?t leaving!

Every morning when you wake up.
There's your coffee put it in your cup.
Open the paper see the media views.
24 hours of celebrity news.
Be careful what you wish for.
Be careful what you need.
Building up debt with credit card fees.
Whatever you want.
Whatever you try.
Have a nice day ? it?s the fourth of July ? (Hey!).

What you gonna do on the 4th of July,
Write the story of your life, and then sit and cry.
What you gonna do on the 4th of July
Take it all for granted or keep asking why?

Every day when you wake up your world is filled with freedom.
Every chance that you will get ? it all comes down to freedom.
Having all the luxuries of life will keep you breathing.
Like the 4th of July ? Independence isn?t leaving!

Like on the 4th of July!
