Fourth of July

Did we spend all that money just so you'd move far away For a big job with a fancy name but you couldn't tell me what you do Well I remember a dirty face kid Afraid of the dark I held in my hand your tiny hand Now I hear them voices in the parlour like the buzzing of flies Like macaroni salad and memorial funds could easy the pain We're so sorry to say We're so sad to say I'm sorry we always sympathise Did you love him so much when he was alive I wanna see everybody outside like the fourth of July Let them drag his body through the streets Let them see what they have done to him See whatcha done to me He looked good the last time we saw him Christmas last year The warning signs I guess we're clear Detective said we shoulda chained him to the radiator Want to thank you for your kind words and your helpful advice I wanna see everybody outside like the fourth of July Let them drag his body through the streets Let them see what they have done to him See whatcha done to me Alright now I wanna see the skies on fire like the fourth of July I wanna see their bodies line the streets You're gonna pay for what you have done to him What you have done to me
