lyrics

Oh! I saw right through your eyes (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)
I saw right through your guise (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)
Every word that left your lips was (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)
just a covert disguise to hide your absent mind (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)

You live and breathe
Sleep and drink
Beg and plead
Blind, diseased
No water can wash the blood off your hands.

On Independence Day!
On Independence Day!

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Traded the Nobel Peace Prize (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)
Exchanged for Vietnamese lives (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)
Bombs filled the Cambodian skies (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)
In East Timor you stood up for the wrong side,
wrong side, wrong side (woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh)

You live and breathe
Sleep and drink
Beg and plead
Blind, diseased
No water can wash the blood off your hands

On Independence Day!
On Independence Day!
On Independence Day (woah-oh, woah-oh)
On Independence Day

No water can wash the blood off your hands
No it can't, no it can't
No water can wash the blood off your hands
No it can't, no it can't
No water can wash the blood off your hands
No it can't, no it can't
No water can wash the blood off your hands
No it can't, no it can't

Anti-Flag lives by example. This benefit record is a half-studio, half-live release in the vein of Mobilize, and like Mobilize, it's great. If only other bands had this level of commitment and activism. A must-have for any AF fan. K.R.K.
