The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
What we wanted was chain lightning What we wanted was 8 miles high What we wanted was free fall And our turn to fly What we wanted was more fireworks Everlasting 4th of July What we wanted was more stars In a bluer sky All we wanted was something worth it Worth the labor, worth the wait Then they take you up to the mountain You see too late In the middle of a good time Truth gave me her icy kiss Look around, you must be joking All that way, all that for this What we wanted was consolation The band of strangers, help for pain What we wanted was to be sure No friends were lost in vain What we wanted was aggravation A good cause and a bigger row What we wanted was the whole plantation Now, now, now What we wanted was rhyme and reason What we wanted was another way What we get is a tin-pot heaven And we're too drunk to pray What we get is the old machinery Grinding on in the same old way What we need is the sweet republic Roll on Independence Day
