Never enough celebrating Independence Day It was never enough to celebrate the eve of New Year's Day What about my friends and me, can we have our say? 'Cuz all our many enemies need to be blown away Ain't no sting like a bottlerocket burrowing Deep into the side of your face Have you ever felt the big welt That a Roman candle leaves in its place? The woods in the neighborhood are worth getting put in jail We'll fight 'em in the tunnels and we'll fight 'em in the swamps And they'll never get past never gonna go! Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit We never asked if we should It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottlerocket war And life never got so good Build a pile, everything we bought from Crazy Bill Crazy Bob, and Crazy Ken They'd sober up if they knew about The Plan We got enough pyrotechnics to fill up a wagon Like a Chinese party in the year of the dragon I'm standing next to Poe and this is what he said: "Chuck can lift a manhole cover with his head!"? Here we go! Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit We never asked if we should It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottlerocket war And life never got so good We're just trying to have some fun We're not hurting anyone The lights burst like magic spells And make a sweet sound like bells Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit We never asked if we should.It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottlerocket war And life never got so good
