Josie Bello - Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day by Josie Bello

Three years ago you couldn’t pay your taxes, now the IRS is on your tail
Only the rich get away without paying, hopefully buddy you can make the bail
Maybe you voted, maybe you didn’t, you thought your Congressman could make a difference
Called him up and found out the hard way, if you want an assist its called pay to play

So, Happy Independence Day, we’re gonna celebrate the American way
With beer in our glasses and our heads up our
Happy Independence Day, Happy Independence Day

Happy 4th of July, steak on the grill, no money no worries, use plastic for the bill
People down the street got nothing to eat, pantry is closed for the holiday I guess their beat
You recently got a promotion and a raise, found your take-home was less than you gained
Saved 20 years to send your kid to college, now he’s a barista with graduate knowledge

So, Happy Independence Day, we’re gonna celebrate the American way
With beer in our glasses and our heads up our
Happy Independence Day, Happy Independence Day

You got a fence around your property, makes you think you’re safer than me
Not far from here there’s a gang with guns, fence or no fence they got us on the run
World domination emperor is wearing a robe, some of us can’t see his clothes
What do we know we’re just watching the news, and letting the channel decide our views

So, Happy Independence Day, we’re gonna celebrate the American way
With beer in our glasses and our heads up our
Happy Independence Day, Happy Independence Day
