[Intro] [acoustic guitar enters] [male vocals, dry] I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you [Verse 1] [full band enters, driving drums and bass] I pledge allegiance to the flag It flies so high above this stolen land Driven through the hearts of men I pledge allegiance to the flag Our consciences remain unfazed Despite the never-ending wars we wage Cover the past with shopping malls And pledge allegiance to them all [Chorus] [vocals shift to falsetto layering] And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you [Verse 2] Where's the equality we seek? Take it from the strong and give it to the weak Take a good look at their rags (their rags) And pledge allegiance to your flag [Chorus] And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you [Bridge] [distorted guitar power chords] White is the color of light Shining strong and shining bright Blue is the color of truth Liberty and justice for me and you And red is the color of blood Red is the color of blood Red is the color of blood [Instrumental Break] [clean electric guitar melody with chorus effect] [steady drum beat and melodic bassline] [Verse 3] [vocals return to natural chest voice] I pledge allegiance to the flag You cannot see the waste upon this land And with a gun against your head You'll pledge allegiance when you're dead [Chorus] And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you And I, ah-ah-ah-I I pledge allegiance to you
