LYRICS FOR "Independence Day"

Well, the kids hit the stands and the s*** hit the fan
Too much security but not enough maturity
The band took the stage, the kids were in a rage
The goons were terrified, they knew they were gonna pay

Every young heart in the house that night beat a million beats
Clenched fists and a little fright
No one knew who threw the first
But after that it just got worse

We said all we had to say
We did what we had to do
We meant every word we said
You can't stop a riot till it's through

They tried to stop the show, we wouldn't go away
For once every voice screamed together for a day
Don't worry about me, mom and dad 'cause I'll be okay
What could I do but join the fight and pray?

We said what we had to say
And we did what we had to do
We meant every word we said
Broken bottles, broken bones and the night was through, was through
