Independence Dave


I got no shame, I ain't to blame, I got no memory
I got no conscience on my shoulder there to bother me
I'm on a trip without a script into oblivion
I guess that's just the way I like to play to have some fun,
I don't need a toke or have a smoke to try to clear my head
Ain't no use, already loose when I roll out of bed

I got no future got not past, got no e-ternity
Don't need to know just gotta go, that's my re-ality
I'm all alone, I got no phone, I don't communicate
I got no pace, ain't in the race, so I'm never late,
Don't need to cook or read a book, don't need to wash or shave
See I am free to be just me I'm Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave
He's Dave, Independence Dave
He's Dave, Independence Dave

I got a girl, she's just a pearl from down in St. Clair Shore
But there's a brother of another knockin' down my door
I got some money from a honey livin' way downtown
And there's this one who's got a gun that's tryin' to hunt me down
I try to love em all but I ain't no one's slave
Cause when the rubber hits the road, I'm Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh

There's two subpoenas, they're so mean as to suggest that I'm
The major perpetrator of a minor crime
They got my name on their claim but anyone could see
Since I'm never anywhere, it clearly wasn't me
It's not that I'm so innocent or well-behaved,
It's just that I'm the one and only Independence Dave

Woo!
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
Woo!
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
He's Dave, Independence Dave Ooh Wah Ooh
Woo!
