Justice And Independence `85 — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

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 someday him and Justice and Nation would get together again
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack
And she wouldn`t let nobody 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 everyrhing alright
Can you keep your Nation warm tonight

Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation
Couldn`t keep the boy at home no no
He just kept running `round and `round and `round and `round
Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed
When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame
Nation if you`ll just come home we`ll have this family again
Oh Nation don`t cry

CHORUS

Roll a rock across the Country
Everbody come along
When you`re feelin` down yeah yeah
Just sing this song yeah yeah
