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, would daydream and he'd pretend   That someday him and Justice and Nation be together again   But Justice held up in a shotgun shack, wouldn't let nobody in   So a Nation cried      Oh oh, when a Nation cries   His tears fall down like missiles from the skies   Justice look into Independences' eyes   Can you make everything alright   And can you keep your Nation warm tonight      Well, Nation grew up   And got himself a big 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   And Nation if you'll just come home, we'll have this family again   Oh Nation, don't cry      Oh oh, when a Nation cries   His tears fall down like missiles from the skies   Justice look into Independences' eyes   Can you make everything alright   Can you keep your Nation warm tonight      Roll a rock across the country, yeah yeah   Everybody come along   When you're feelin' down, yeah yeah   Just sing this song, yeah yeah
