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
