4th of July (Live from the Artists Den) Lyrics by Soundgarden

Live from the Artists Den

2019

[Intro: Chris Cornell]
This is called 4th of july and it's not actually about the
Um, America's Independence Day it's about being
Really, really, really, really fucked up on acid
Somewhere in the vicinity of America's Independence Day
[Verse 1]
Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks driving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie
[Chorus]
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
[Verse 2]
Pale in the flare light
The scared light cracks & disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares
The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
[Chorus]
I heard it in the wind
Saw it in the sky
I thought it was the end
Thought it was the 4th of July
I heard it in the wind
Saw it in the sky
Thought it was the end
Thought it was the 4th of July (July, July)
[Verse 3]
Now I'm in control
Now I'm in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember
Your sweet everything
Light a Roman candle
And hold it in your hand
[Chorus]
I heard it in the wind
I saw it in the sky
I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
Heard it in the wind
Saw it in the sky
Thought it was the end
Thought it was the 4th of July
[Outro: Chris Cornell & The Audience]
Thank you very much
You all get to be on Artists Den on PBS
PBS, if you don't know what that stands for
Public Bitch Session, which is what
We're gonna do now
We're gonna start with it right now I'll start
This is bullshit!
Ok, now it's your turn
(This is bullshit!)
Fuck This Shit!
(Fuck This Shit!)
Fuckin' hell, I'm glad I got to air this in public!
(Fuckin' hell, I'm glad I got to air this in public!)
Perfect, Awesome, Perfect
I feel like that was successful
We don't even need the fuckin' show
We just need that, put that on
