A declaration Of the intention To stop extension into my airspace I'll put the flags up Pull up the anchor And then you'll know you're in a different place But I can't stand up, and I can't sit down Cause a great big problem stopped me in my tracks I can't relax cause I haven't done a thing And I can't do a thing cause I can't relax You've got your habits I've got my customs I'm sure you know it's got to be this way No hesitation And in the future We'll celebrate our Independence Day But I can't stand up, and I can't sit down Cause a great big problem stopped me in my tracks I can't relax cause I haven't done a thing And I can't do a thing cause I can't relax Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Hang out the flags, ring in the new We should be dancing on the city streets I know the tune, I know the words My mouth is open but I cannot speak But I can't stand up, and I can't sit down Cause a great big problem stopped me in my tracks I can't relax cause I haven't done a thing And I can't do a thing cause I can't relax Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day
