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
