Allegiance

lyrics

Now I miss my days of calm
Yes I miss my days of calm
You think you control the stars
Oh honey you think you control your fate
There was nothing you could do when you held me in your arms
Now there’s nothing you can do now that I’m gone
We never pledged our allegiance

Now I’m sick of my views of the courts and the banks and the jails
Where everybody here is a suspect
You've got a paycheck, a job, and a judge that doesn't give a fuck
And he’ll weigh your life down with one swing of a gavel
You’re out here singing some sad, sad song like we had pledged our allegiance
Lord I never pledged my allegiance

Now I miss my days of calm
Yes I miss my days of calm
You think you control the stars
Oh honey you think you control your fate
There was nothing I could do when I had held you in my arms
Now there’s nothing I can do now that you’re gone

We never pledged our allegiance
We never pledged our allegiance
You’re out here singing some sad, sad, song like we had pledged our allegiance
Lord I never pledged my allegiance
