Independence Day

Bruce Springsteen- Independence Day

Well, Papa go to bed now, it’s getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now.
I’ll be leaving in the morning from St Marys Gate
we wouldn’t change this thing even if we could somehow.

There’s a darkness in this house that’s got the best of us
There’s a darkness in this town that’s got us too.
But they can’t touch me now, and you can’t touch me now
They ain’t gonna do to me what I watched them do to you.

Now I don’t know what it always was with us, we chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way the house could hold the two of us, I guess that we were just too much of the same kind

Say goodbye it’s Independence Day, Papa, I know the things you wanted that you could not say.
But won’t you just say goodbye it’s Independence Day, I swear I never meant to take those things away.
