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:
œChuck 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.
