Today is Independence Day
 My Independence on its way
 I'm independent from my life
 You're independent from your wife
 I'm independent from my lies
 And point of view
 I'm independent from him
 I'm independent from you

They say you're gotta love your neighbor
 Oh, only if they knew
 I'd rather donate all my blood
 Than be nice to you
 I'd rather jump from the window
 Than say kind words to you
 I'd rather see ya....dddd..dead
 Than be loving you!

Oh, mama mama mama mama, this is [bad word] 
 Oh, my sweet mama, this is [bad word] 

They say I'm manically depressed
 I say, I'm just oppressed
 Oppressed by color TV
 Oppressed by all that I see
 Flags, freeways [bad word]  Falls advertisement and fools
 Oppressed [bad word] past
 And by America's quest
 Oppressed by Hollywood kids
 Oh, and by silicon [bad word]  By homeless dudes on the streets
 Golf courses, golf courses, golf courses, golf courses!
 Oppressed by being a pawn
 And serving the kings
 Oppressed by being a human
 With attachments and guilts

Today's My Independence, Today's My Independence

AT&T, PG&E, SUV, GE, NBC, CIA, CNN,
 There's always that one: eMpTy, eMpTy, eMpty, eMpTV!!

I just wanna cross this bridge and not see any of this [bad word]  I just wanna walk and I wanna talk
 I just wanna live and I wanna feel, yeah
 I just wanna be free, free, free, free, free
 Free like I used to be!

Today's my Independence Day
 It's on its way
 It's on its way
 It's on its way, yeah
 It's here
 It's gotta be!
