mia doi todd - independence day (golden state version) lyrics

there’s a battleship parked in the river
reenacting open doors, open arms, then open fire
there are mushroom clouds
and machine+gunned copters descending
in the snap crackle pop fizzle of the fireworks
as they blast into the night air
breathed in by innumerable passengers
screaming “we are number one”

independence day, our freedom is won
to choose our own way, when to go, what’s to come
but with each tie we break, there is sacrifice
how many lives will it take? how many loves just must die?

there’s a man i just met, he hasn’t kissed me yet
he reminds me of someone else, only better
but i’m made out of wax, so easy to impress
am i melting too fast, dripping into your lips?
because all my heroes have turned human this year
slinking round pool tables, sinking into unfabled stupors
whispering into the night air or into some girl’s hair
“i am number one”

independence day, our freedom is won
to choose our own way, when to go, what’s to come
but with each tie we break, there is sacrifice
how many lives will it take? how many loves just must die?
there’s a battleship parked in the charles river
shooting off fireworks that light up the world
then fall into the water
my love is next to me, head full of the next century
and wondering whether there’ll be a wedding tomorrow
and the secret smoke signals in the aftermath of gunpowder
seem the most significant indication of what’s to come

independence day, our freedom is won
to choose our own way, when to go, what’s to come
but with each tie we break, there is sacrifice
how many lives will it take? how many loves just must die?
