Fourth Of July

Forth of July - Pete Droge

tabbed by Steve Vetter [vetters@vax1.elon.edu]

Like you I've been hurt seen my face in the dirt

But I never reacted like you

The last time we met, you seemd so upset

We you left town you did not say bye

Then I heard you'd been seen way down in Eugene

Working as a factory slave

Though the life that you took came from no storybook

You spent it before it was saved

On the forth of July

See the sparks in the sky

When you're sick of the tryin

and you're tired of the cryin

Then the forth of the July

is a good day to die

We'll celebrate each year

Your independance from here

If you only had just a glimmer of hope

Then I know you'd have done some great things

But you tossed out your gift and it's makin me wish

I'd been there when you found yourself down

But you turned to no one but a bullet and a gun

and the bang blame did end with the day

And I sit here and I drink it still hurts me to think

of the sad songs that we used to play

On the forth of July

See the sparks in the sky

When you're sick of the tryin

and you're tired of the cryin

Then the forth of the July

is a good day to die

We'll celebrate each year

Your independance from here

(For Kurt Cobain?)
