lyrics

Sights and sounds that only confuse the senses.
Smoke signals burnin' holes in the sky.
Hearts tied to electric fences.
No more fireworks displays on the fourth of July.

Freedom, she was ringin' in the distance.
Traded in for the opening bell.
When the field of dreams awoke in foreclosure, she set sail for a buyer overseas.

While hope flickered like a torch on the horizon, waiting for a savior in folks like you and me, the devil took a seat at the head of the table.
The fireworks burned out with no one there to see.

Now the architect has broke through the wire, while the sheep were put to sleep in the fields.
Lambs with PC rifles sent to the slaughter, while the wolves whispered in the shepherd's ear.

While hope's head was hung on the horizon, waiting for someone to appeal, the house folded its hand and the devil redrew the plans.
The fireworks were snuffed out in a backroom deal.

Sights and sounds made only confuse the senses. Smoke screen cover keeps birds from blue skies.
The broken dream has left her defenseless.
No more fireworks on the fourth of July.
