Well, I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Well, something on the surface it stinks
Well, something on the surface
It kind of makes me nervous
To say that you deserve this
And what kind of God would serve this
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well, if you you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
The remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said, the tragedy is that you're going to spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end
I won't worry my life away
Say, I won't worry my life away
Well, I heard two men, talking on the radio
In a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Or they were counting down the ways to stab
The brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, with a minty fresh death-breath
Is sure to outlast this catastrophe dance with me
Well, if you’ve got the poison and baby I'm your remedy
The remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said, the tragedy is that you're going to spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end
Oh, Lord
I won't, I won't worry my life away
Say, I, I won't worry my life away
When I fall in love now
I take my time, there's no need to hurry
When I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun, but I'm still going to shine
And I'll tell you why
Because the remedy is always the experience
And it's a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
And is a play on words
I said, the tragedy is that you're going to spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end
Oh, Lord
I won't, I won't worry my life away
Say, I, I won't worry my life away
Not today, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t
Worry this life away
Oh, ain't worrying this no more
I said I won’t, I won’t, I won’t
Worry this life away tonight, tonight
'Cause we got to feel more, oh

Actually, the words are to the non live Reggae version of the song. I havn't been able to find it on the net or itunes, but I originally heard it on Sirius - The Pulse. Hope this clears up some issues.

most of the words are wrong... maybe u should have let someone else write the lyrics.... u know... someone not stupid, and someone who knows the song... next time u need to make sure u got the music right, and then maybe u'll get better reviews...

Calling the person who wrote the lyrics stupid while you can't spell "you" is hypocritic. And there's no need to be rude. Please don't waste your time complaining of other's mistakes if you have nothing offerable to fix it with. Have a nice day and lose your ****yness.
