THE FOURTH OF JULY 1989
EVER SINCE i WAS A little girl
YOU HAVE BEEN my HERO
i WANTED TO POSSESS EVERY QUALITY YOU HAD
EXCEPT ONE
BUT TODAY I DO NOT WANT ANY OF your "qualities"
EXCEPT ONE
YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN my DADDY
AND i HAVE ALWAYS BEEN YOUR brown-eyed baby
BUT TODAY I BEGAN TO WONDER WHO we ARE NOW
FIREWORKS GO OFF TONIGHT
TO CELEBRATE THE HEROES
BUT I CAN NOT CELEBRATE AT ALL
my HERO SURRENDERED TO OUR NATION'S GREATEST enemy
IT IS A DISEASE THAT THEY TELL me YOU CAN'T FIGHT
AND I KNOW THEY ARE LYING
YOU USED TO FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING
i WAS SO VERY PROUD
YOU HAD ALWAYS BEEN my DADDY
AND i HAD ALWAYS BEEN YOUR brown-eyed baby
BUT who ARE We NOW?
