Crass Tattoo

Lyrics

My twenty-fourth birthday, the day I was inscribed With the sacred emblem I will wear until I die My twenty-fourth birthday, I made my solemn vow Praying, "may I never know more than I know now" My right arm, I dedicated to that noble cause To dismantle authority and nullify all laws And construct in their vacancy a kinder, juster world One human race united beneath the black flag unfurled The piercing of the needle as tainted blood runs clean The shattering of shackles hithertofore unseen The thrill of knowing purpose, of wondering no more The journey laid before me at only twenty-four Right arm, do no evil--right arm, please be true Right arm, swing for righteousness--you wear a Crass tattoo
