歌词
It’s the hottest summer anyone can remember 
Everybody knows something’s gonna start 
This fella sings with a hundred and one reasons 
For you to give him the keys, the keys to your heart 
Guitars crash land in flames from hell 
With bullets for rich or poor 
A voice rings out like a bell 
Cutting trough the chaos of hate and war 
Back to basics, guitar picks, drumsticks – spirit of ‘76 
Sceptics, slapsticks, limericks and plastics – spirit of ‘76 
Convicts, ethnics, mavericks and beatniks – spirit of ‘76 
Psychics, mystics, politics and con tricks – spirit of ‘76 
While Mister Nasty makes enemies of new statesmen 
And others jam with soul but nothing new 
And Yankee cars play the same old, on the stereo 
He walks up to the mike and he shows us what to do 
Music like this can kick down doors 
Dressed in rags with style 
They don’t believe the truth no more 
A white riot leaves them bleeding in the aisles 
Back to Basics, guitar picks, drumsticks – spirit of ‘76 
Sceptics, slapsticks, limericks and plastics – spirit of ‘76 
Convicts, ethnics, mavericks and beatniks – spirit of ‘76 
Psychics, mystics, politics and con tricks – spirit of ‘76 
And nothing’s gonna be the same again 
Said nothing’s gonna be the same again 
Music like this can kick down doors 
Dressed in rags with style 
They don’t believe the truth no more 
A white riot leaves them bleeding in the aisles
