Independence Day — текст песни (Bruce Springsteen)

Well Papa go to bed now its getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
Ill be leaving in the morning from St. Marys Gate
We wouldnt change this thing even if we could somehow
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
Theres a darkness in this town thats got us too
But they cant touch me now
And you cant touch me now
They aint gonna do to me
What I watched them do to you

So say goodbye its Independence Day
Its Independence Day
All down the line
Just say goodbye its Independence Day
Its Independence Day this time

Now I dont know what it always was with us
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind

Well say goodbye its Independence Day
Its Independence Day all boys must run away
So say goodbye its Independence Day
All men must make their way come Independence Day

Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankies joint
And the highway shes deserted clear down to Breakers Point
Theres a lot of people leaving town now
leaving their friends, their homes
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

Well Papa go to bed now, its getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because theres just different people coming down here now and they see things in different ways
And soon everything weve known will just be swept away

So say goodbye its Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But wont you just say goodbye its Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away
