Pledge of Allegience

Lyrics

I don't know if you've been following the Saddam Hussein of the United States, George Bush but, like Adolph Hitler, one of the first things he did to whip people up into a blind frenzy of ugly nationalism is make a real big stink about desecration of the national deity —excuse me— flag in almost identical language to Hitler. Every day in school in America I had to rise and pledge allegiance to the flag even as the Vietnam war was going on across the street at the University of Colorado. And I was held over all afternoon in third grade to write over and over again: I will not laugh during flag pledge I will not laugh during flag pledge I haven't forgotten either. I pledge defiance to the flag of the united snakes of captivity And to the Republic for which it stands I dip it in kerosene and stick it up the ass of you-know-who And light it! One nation under God - or else One nation under psychopathic Pentagon gangsters Whose idea of national security Is concentration camps for people who dare to use the drugs That the CIA brings in and the government supplies themselves. One nation under Wall St. If the cops and the government are all crooks I might as well be one, too. One nation of sedated tabloid robots Who actually believe what they see on TV Even on MTV And when asked what they think about it They reply, "I don't care" One nation drowning in its own garbage Indivisible from the fall of Rome With liberty and justice for all... who can afford it. Burn, baby, burn! Burn, baby, burn! Old glory, the Yankee swastika Burn, baby, burn. Burn, baby, burn Whenever I see you, I see red Whenever I see you, I see red If the communist countries can do it, why can't we Throw the bastards out and try some real democracy? Run not by rich people, not by military people Not by sons of senators' sons of senators' sons of senators' sons of senators' sons Have you noticed how the more they give people their freedom over there The more they take it away over here So, now before it's too late to even talk about stuff like this Be a patriot, a good patriot The one that cares about their country more than forcing People to worship the flag And take the swastika, the Yankee swastika And let it burn, burn, burn, baby, burn!
