Lyric

Happy birthday, AmericaIt’s the Fourth of JulyI get to wake up in your freedomBut sometimes I wonder whySeems like everybody’s pissin’On the red, white, and blueHappy birthday, AmericaWhatever’s left of you
You were the darlin’ when you saved the worldWW I and IIFrance would just be part of Germany nowIf it hadn’t been for youNow your children want to turn you inTo something other than yourselfThey burn your flag in their city streetsMore than anybody else
Happy birthday, AmericaIt’s the Fourth of JulyI’ll get to wake up in your freedomBut sometimes I wonder whySeems like everybody’s pissin’On the red, white, and blueHappy birthday, AmericaWhatever’s left of you
Who they gonna count onWhen you’re not there to take their call?Will the world keep right on spinnin’Without the greatest of them all?Without the helping hand of GodYour days are numbered my old friendWe’re sure gonna miss you, girlYou were the best that’s ever beenHappy birthday, America
All the broken-down citiesBy the left’s designAnd the right can’t seem to get it rightMost of the timeEvery time I go to town and voteI just come home with the bluesThe lesser of two evilsAll we ever get to choose
Happy birthday, AmericaIt’s the Fourth of JulyI’ll get to wake up in your freedomBut sometimes I wonder whySeems like everybody’s pissin’On the red, white, and blueHappy birthday, AmericaWhatever’s left of you
Happy birthday, America
