4th of July

Nicole Danser
Language: English




Let's gather 'round the grill and talk about the greatness of the USA
For no other reason than it's the fourth of July today
And even though July wasn't even when we really won our independence
You'll be told that you're a terrorist if you're not in attendance

America! So grand! America, give us a hand! America, we're swell! If you're not American then go to hell!

So let's celebrate this country, by watching fireworks invented by the Chinese
And eat hotdogs and hamburgers invented by the Germans overseas
We're American as apple pie, made popular before the English colonized
But at least we got what we fought for so that we'd be free
of taxation without representation barring DC

America! So grand! America, give us a hand! America, we're swell! If you're not American then go to hell!

You might say, "Hey we're Americans! We celebrate these things 'cause we're a melting pot!"
We're allowed to rejoice in our diversity, and all the wonderful things that immigrants brought.
Oh American's respect diversity, that's a truth that you believe in and everyone will say.
As long as you're a straight, white male who speaks English, makes money and prays.

America! So grand! America, give us a hand! America, we're swell! If you're not American then go to hell!

Oh we're such a rich country, as long as we ignore our debt to China
And we'll respect a woman's rights, as long as we can control her vagina
Our education system is broken, which doesn't stop the stupid from being outspoken
But hey we've got freedom of religion. But atheist and Muslim will be treated with derision.

America! So grand! America, give us a hand! America, we're swell! If you're not American then go to hell!
