John Mellencamp Justice And Independence '85
He was born on the fourth day of July So his parents called him Independence Day He married a girl named Justice who gave birth to a son called Nation Then she walked away Independence he would daydream and he'd pretend That some day him and Justice and Nation would get together again But Justice held up in a shotgun shack And she wouldn't let nobdoy in So a Nation cried CHORUS Oh, oh When a Nation cries His tears fall down like missiles from the skies Justice look into Independence's eyes Can you make everything alright Can you keep your Nation warm tonight Well Nation grew up and got himself a big reputation Couldn't keep the boy at home no, no He just kept running 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round Indpendence and Justice well they felt so ashamed When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame Nation if you'll come home we'll have this family again Oh, Nation, don't cry CHORUS Roll a rock across the country Everybody come along When you're feelin' down, yeah, yeah Just sing this song, yeah yeah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
