I'll be waiting dear
For the 4th of July
Though in Canada that day is a lie
Down by the border and watch the stars
Disappear in the exhaust from the waiting cars

And the fire works are illegal here
So we buy them from the people who buy our beer
And Cigarettes that I don't really want
That 13 year old walk around and flaunt

We could go to the lake and drown our sorrows
Burn all our hopes for better tomorrows
Coming from me it sounds kind of funny
I've got everything
Love, freedom (merica) and money

I'll be waiting dear
till the 4th o July
When the distance decreases between you and I

When the sky's ablaze
With our burning hearts
And we close our eyes
And we fall apart
