In the United States today, we celebrate our Independence. On July 4, 1776, the United States declared Independence, and loyal to England no longer. America had grown tired of kings and taxes.

It is all odd. Surreal. For the United States has elected a President who thinks he is a king, and is in control over much more than the United States. He has enacted the largest tax increase in history, $2,100 a family in order to destroy the best health care system in the world. Never has unemployment been below 8%. This has caused poverty to increase, and more people than ever are forced to use food stamps. He is at war with the Catholic Church.

One wonders why he had done this. Perhaps he is dim. Perhaps he is blindly, mindlessly following a failed ideology that he simply cannot abandon. Perhaps it is what he wants.

But you can still rock in America.

Little sister by the record machine
A tiny dancer such a sweet sixteen
She's going out she's going to party tonight
She's going to shake and make it last all night

Little brother's got a driving machine
A fast driver such a clean machine
They're going out they're going to put out the lights
They're going to rock it

You can still rock in America, all right
You can still rock in America, all night

Little sister makes a move to the door
The door squeaks, she's on the second floor
Her daddy wakes "Is everything okay?"
Not a word as she makes her get away

Little brother's got it ready to roll
Tires burning as they head to the show
Light it up and turn the music up loud
and rock it

You can still rock in America, all right
You can still rock in America, all night
You can still rock in America

Now, I will behave in the traditional manner. I will drink beer and celebrate the birth of my country by blowing up a small part of it.
