The summer that I turned sixteen I had my independence day
Snuck down to the rich neighborhood near the fireworks display
Green lawns washed in black all reflecting exploding light
Crept up to a house big and white with the back door open wide
There's no honor among suburban paupers

Independence Day for a petty thief
Independence Day for a scoundrel

The young and old they stared like zombies at the red and blue and gray
Every soul was in the bleachers about four blocks away
From aside they shouted like thunderclouds for a town being laid to waste
My heart was beating boom boom boom boom as I filled up my pillowcase
Freedom

Independence Day for a petty thief
Independence Day for a scoundrel

(Oh sinner, you better get ready
Oh you better get ready, hallelujah
Sinner, you better get ready
Time's-a-coming when the sinner must die)

Independence Day for a petty thief
Independence Day for a scoundrel

The summer that I turned sixteen I had my independence day
