"4th of July"
These men are fighting for your freedom
 I'm just fighting my way back to your heart
 
 Back to wherever you are
 
 May my blood so red turn you an innocent white
 May you and our sons keep breathing while I turn blue
 
 There was a time where I couldn't differentiate the fireworks from the ringing in my ears
 And now the bomb blasts make me uncomfortably at home
 As if it was the 4th of July all over again with fireworks
 Oh so innocently exploding anything in it's path to kingdom come
 
 I've got violence to glorify
 Baby, I want to hold your hand grenade
 Just to give you a safer world
 That not my hands, but the blood on my hands had made
 
 If you happen to put on the BBC
 And see me with a bag over my head
 Just know I tried my best to reach you
 While keeping all those I've killed from haunting even a hair from my head
 
 Oh, I love you with all of the propaganda from my heart
 With good intentions
 I'm just a soldier without a name and good intentions were all I had to give
 
 And to think, I have the freedom to say so selfishly
 That I'm just trying to save my Americana, your Americana, and me
