John Mellencamp – Justice And Independence '85 Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Scarecrow

He was born on the fourth day of July
So his parents called him Independence Day
He married a girl named Justice who gave birth
To a son called Nation
Then she walked away
Independence he would daydream and he^,d pretend
That someday him and Justice and Nation would
Get together again
But Justice held up in a shotgun shack
And she wouldn^,t let nobody in
So a Nation cried

[Chorus:]
Oh Oh
When a Nation cries
His tears fall down like missiles from the skies
Justice look into Independence^,s eyes
Can you make everyrhing alright
[ Justice And Independence '85 lyrics from

Can you keep your Nation warm tonight

Well Nation grew up and got himself a reputation
Couldn^,t keep the boy at home no no
He just kept running ^,round and ^,round and ^,round and ^,round
Independence and Justice well they felt so ashamed
When the Nation fell down they argued who was to blame
Nation if you^,ll just come home we^,ll have this family again
Oh Nation don^,t cry

[Chorus]

Roll a rock across the Country
Everbody come along
When you^,re feelin^, down yeah yeah
Just sing this song yeah yeah
