	Story Behind the Song This was one of the first songs in which I was willing to express myself in a serious manner. The summer before so many people went to college it seemed like they let friendships slip away because they knew what was coming. Damn, it pissed me off. Lyrics Sun bleached and wasted On the 5th of July Been worn out and torn up And all but retired It's getting hard to hold This flag that I fly Sitting in the sun Another midsummer's day Sitting in the sun Everything fades away The flag falls and unfurls Fraying at the seams It just falls flat and silent Dead among the dreams With the colors long since faded So goes the memory Sitting in the sun Another midsummer's day Sitting in the sun Everything fades away The meaning's gone and the glory's past And the vans have all been packed Rolling out the war is won Already older than the Cadillac Don't stay too long or you'll get burned Can't get the sunblock back Sitting in the setting sun Farewell to summer days Sitting in the setting sun When it goes it's gone to stay
