If you're proud to be an American Set your fireworks off with me And be careful or you'll lose an eye So hide behind that tree, everybody STAND BACK fifty feet and enjoy this big display 'Cause this stuff is pow'rful contraband. God bless the USA. [Fireworks sounds] Got a dozen Roman candles, quarter-sticks of TNT A box of bottle rockets -- I bought 'em legally. From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to L.A. There's a fire in every American yard every Independence Day. And I'm loud, I'm free, I'm American And as proud as I can be And I'd like to thank the Chinese guy Who made this stuff for me. Everybody STAND BACK fifty feet just in case it heads your way 'Cause I'd hate to see you lose a hand [Choral backup] Lose my hand On Independence Day. [Fireworks sounds]
