3. What is the name of this song?
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing. Do you know that there's still a chance for you? 'Cause there's a spark in you. You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine. Just own the night like the Fourth of July. 'Cause baby, you're a firework. Come on, show 'em what you're worth. Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!“ As you shoot across the sky-y-y.
