INDEPENDENCE DAY

I can see the people fighting
Can't you see you haven?t had your way
I can see the fireworks lighting
As we celebrate our Independence Day
You thought you'd frighten us
Make us stay inside
But you're not big enough
To make us run and hide
Our spirit's stronger now
Than it's ever been before
You may have hurt us
But you'll never win the war
I can see the people fighting
Can't you see you haven?t had your way
I can see the fireworks lighting
As we celebrate our Independence Day
We'll watch your every move
You just can't organize
Freedom means more to us
Than you'll ever realize
So take your best shot
Your victories are few
You better watch your back
Cause we'll be coming after you
I can see the people fighting
Can't you see you haven?t had your way
I can see the fireworks lighting
As we celebrate our Independence Day
