Well I saw fireworks from the freeway And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away 'cause you were born on the 4th of July (freedom ring) Well something on the surface it stings I said something on the surface Well it kinda makes me nervous To say that you deserve this And what kind of God would serve this We would cure this dirty old disease Well, if you gots the poison I gots the remedy The remedy is the experience This is the dangerous liaison (I says) The comedy is that it's serious This is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend The rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends Well it all amounts to nothing in the end And I won't worry my life away Hey hey hey, oh oh I won't worry my life away Hey hey hey, oh oh Well I heard 2 men talking on the radio In a cross-fire kind of new reality show Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack Well they were counting down the ways to stab a brother in the Be right back after this The unavoidable kiss With the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe Dance with me Well if you gots the poison, I gots the remedy The remedy is the experience This is the dangerous liaison (I says) The comedy is that it's serious This is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend The rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends Well it all amounts to nothing in the end And I won't worry my life away Hey hey hey, oh oh I won't worry my life away Hey hey hey, oh oh When I fall in love, I take my time There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine And I'll tell you why Because The remedy is the experience This is the dangerous liaison (I says) The comedy is that it's serious This is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend The rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends Well it all amounts to nothing in the end
