Hey - can't you see we're tripping on the wire

Waltzing through the candy land of our desires

Press the magic button and behold the world you crave

But where's the fun in freedom when it renders you a slave?

Pledge allegiance, no flag

God nation, goddamned

The devil dances with the scorned

And how the fire keeps us warm

Hey - it goes beyond big brother in the sky

Beyond the threat of martial law, no Horus eye

No one came to cuff you, they just handed you the chains

Blind follow the blind and now the one-eyed man is king

Pledge allegiance, no flag

God nation, goddamned

The devil dances with the scorned

And how the fire keeps us warm

Tunnel vision, no man

Damn nation, god damn

Can't see the forest for the trees

Can't heal the wound before we bleed

No form of payment, no pot of gold

Will satisfy the debt of what he's owed

Spilling from the houses in a trance, the children lined up on the road

Cursing at the piper as he lured your kids away and led them to the river

For what was their final day

No need for convincing on his pipe, he played a song to fool them all

Fooled them all

Pledge allegiance, no flag

God nation, goddamned

The devil dances with the scorned

And how the fire keeps us (keeps us, keeps us)

Tunnel vision, no man

Damn nation, god damn

Can't see the forest for the trees

Can't heal the wound before we bleed
