He was born on the fourth day of JulySo his parents called him Independence DayHe married a girl named Justice who gave birth to a son called NationThen she walked awayIndependence he would daydream and he'd pretendThat some day him and Justice and Nation would get together againBut Justice held up in a shotgun shackAnd she wouldn't let nobdoy inSo a Nation criedCHORUSOh, ohWhen a Nation criesHis tears fall down like missiles from the skiesJustice look into Independence's eyesCan you make everything alrightCan you keep your Nation warm tonightWell Nation grew up and got himself a big reputationCouldn't keep the boy at home no, noHe just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'roundIndpendence and Justice well they felt so ashamedWhen the Nation fell down they argued who was to blameNation if you'll come home we'll have this family againOh, Nation, don't cryCHORUSRoll a rock across the countryEverybody come alongWhen you're feelin' down, yeah, yeahJust sing this song, yeah yeah------------------------------------------------------------------------------
