declaration of independence day is my favorite late 90’s movie

She Went Down Screaming A floating palace, iron and pride, A thousand strangers crammed inside, Champagne and coal dust, silk and rust, The Atlantic don’t care about human trust! Chorus: She went down, down, DOWN! Eighteen minutes to meet the fish! The ocean swallowed her whole like a dish! She went down, DOWN, DOWN! A steel cigar from the devil’s hand, Punched a hole where her belly planned, The boilers screamed, the china flew, The grand piano sank to the blue! Chorus Lifeboats swinging like broken teeth, A thousand souls dropping underneath, Funnels gurgling, the sea gone red, Ireland watched from the cliffs of dread! Bridge — unhinged: The fish didn’t ask for this! The crabs didn’t want a war! But now they got a seven hundred foot cathedral Rusting on their ocean floor! Final Chorus: She went down, down, DOWN! And the world cracked its knuckles and joined the fight! Eighteen minutes erased the night! She went DOWN! (sound of bubbles) (silence) (one sad fish)
