Fireworks or Grenades?

[Intro – single clean guitar note → massive distorted crunch] [Verse 1 – palm-muted chug, snare like gunshots] Red-white-blue sky or blood on the grass? Family picnic or body-bag parade? I’m underage, bottle rocket in my fist Can’t tell the difference anymore [Pre-Chorus – bass slide, cymbal swell] Your little light It left you Long ago [Chorus – full-band explosion, gang vocals] Fireworks or grenades? Tell me what just blew up in my face Fireworks or grenades? Happy birthday or funeral day? I’m underage Fireworks or grenades? [Verse 2 – faster, double-kick under riff] Mom’s waving sparklers, dad’s got the grill Uncle’s missing fingers from last Fourth of July still Freedom smells like sulfur and cheap beer Every boom sounds the same in my ears [Pre-Chorus – whispered → scream] The last thing you heard Was me screaming In your ear [Chorus – bigger, added octave guitars] Fireworks or grenades? Which one took your legs away? Fireworks or grenades? Celebrate or evacuate? I’m underage Fireworks or grenades? [Guitar Solo – wah-drenched chaos, dive bombs, feedback] [Bridge – half-time, clean → distorted] Little sparks or big holes in the ground Same colors, different sounds I just wanted to feel something loud [Final Chorus – heaviest drop, double gang shouts] (FIREWORKS OR GRENADES?!) Fireworks or grenades? Tell me what we celebrate today Fireworks or grenades? Either way the sky burns the same I’m underage Fireworks… or grenades? [Outro – last chord rings, distant explosion fade] Happy fucking Independence Day.
