LYRICS
Here’s the problem with the thing
Have you the freedom to sing?
Dare you take a chance…
n’ be free to dance
Growing dependence on Independence Day
How can you be reciting
When they’ve outlawed reading
Sure seems their fights
Violate rights
Growing dependence on Independence Day
At times I’m at a loss
No mimes says the boss
No juggling, music or magic
… I’m getting sick
Growing dependence on Independence Day
Independence Day Dependence at Gay Church.mp4
Independence Day Dependence.mp3
