Well, I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Well, something on the surface, it stings
I said, something on the surface
Well, it kinda makes me nervous who says that you deserve this?
And what kind of God would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well, if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says, the comedy is that it's serious
Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I, I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I, I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
Well, I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
While they were counting down
The ways to stab the brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss
Where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me
'Cause if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I, I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
When I fall in love (I fall in love)
I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun (turn off the sun)
But I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why
Because the remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I ('cause I won't)
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
(I won't worry my life)
I (I won't)
I won't worry my life away
I ('cause I won't, and I won't, and I won't)
Worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
