Forth of July - Pete Droge
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?)
