Looking For 4th Of July Music? How About ‘National Anthem’ By Lana Del Rey [LYRICS & VIDEO]

Lana Del Rey is striking a chord with people. Her new video for "National Anthem" has been viewed nearly 3-million times in less than a week. I guess you could say (in your best Ron Burgundy voice) that "It's kind of a big deal."

Lana is in the video as Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, alongside A$AP Rocky as a black John F. Kennedy. With a premise like that you can bet the video is stirring up some controversy. Check it out below.

With a title like "National Anthem" and the sound of fireworks blowing up throughout the song, I bet you're going to hear this at more than a few 4th of July BBQs tomorrow.

What do you think of the song? Let me know in the comments below.

"National Anthem" by Lana Del Rey, released on her album, 'Born To Die,' on Interscope Records.

Lyrics:

Money is the anthem
Of success
So before we go out
What's your address?

I'm your national anthem
God, you're so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons
Bugatti Veyron

He loves to romance 'em,
Reckless abandon,
Holdin' me for ransom,
Upper echelon.

He says to "be cool" but,
I don't know how yet.
Wind in my hair,
Hand on the back of my neck.
I said, "Can we party later on?"
He said, "Yes, yes, Yes.”)

Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down,
Making me so wow, wow.
Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
Sugar, sugar, how now,
Take your body downtown.
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and baby,
Heaven's in your eyes.
I'm your National Anthem.

Money is the reason,
We exist.
Everybody knows it,
It's a fact. Kiss, kiss.

I sing the National Anthem,
While I'm standing,
Over your body,
Hold you like a python.

And you can't keep your hands off Me,

Or your pants on.
See what you've done to me?
Give me Chevron.

You said to "be cool" but,
I'm already coolest.
I said to "get real",
Don't you know who you're dealing with?

Um, do you think you'll buy me,
Lots of diamonds? (Yes, I also brought my gun)

Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down,
(Making me so wow, wow.
Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
Sugar, sugar, how now,
Take your body downtown.
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and baby,
Heaven's in your eyes.
I'm your National Anthem.

It's a love story for the new age,
For the six page,
Want a quick, sick rampage?

Wining and dining, drinking and driving,
Excessive buying, overdosin', dyin',
On our drugs and our love,
And our dreams and our rage.

Blurring the lines,
Between real and the fake.
Dark and lonely,
I need somebody to hold me.

We will do very well,
I can tell, I can tell,
Keep me safe in his bell,
Tower, hotel.

Money is the anthem,
Of success.
So put on mascara,
And your party dress.

I'm your National Anthem,
Boy, put your hands up,
Give me a standing ovation.

Boy, you have landed,
Babe, in the land of,
Sweetness and danger,
Queen of Saigon.

Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down,
Making me so wow, wow.
Tell me I'm your National Anthem.
Sugar, sugar, how now,
Take your body downtown.
Red, white, blue's in the skies,
Summer's in the air and baby,
Heaven's in your eyes.
I'm your National Anthem.

Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success

Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success

Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success

Money is the anthem,
God, you're so handsome.
Money is the anthem,
Of success
