4th of july

There was an earthquake on the fourth of July

Something inside you was shaken by that

Fireworks display over the mountainside

You couldn't get those swinging lights out of your mind

But don't cry, demolition baby

Always blowing it up

And getting so stuck

Both hands in the dirt

Well I heard they tore that factory down

Only thing that big you felt safe around the

Beauty in all that machinery

Pumping in all its autonomy

It calmed your mind

It showed you time

But don't cry demolition baby

Always blowing it up

And gettin' so stuck

I see you, digging a foundation

Waiting for the world to go by

So you might as well try

Both hands in the dirt so you might as well try

Both hands in the dirt so you might as well try

Both hands in the dirt so you might as well try

Both hands in the dirt so you might as well try

Both hands in the dirt

There was an earthquake on the fourth of July

Something inside you was shaken by that

Fireworks display over the mountainside
