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 swingin' 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 Pumpin' in all its autonomy calmed your mind It showed you time But don't cry, demolition baby Always blowing it up And getting so stuck I see you, diggin' 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
