Lost beside, the riverside
Trapped under the light
Lord is watching over me
Tried so hard to fight
Dreaming of the shadows
Praying as I should
I was long gone…
Til the Devil done me good
Left to my devices,
waiting for the rain
Heaven help the sinners
Dishing out the pain
Podium of losers
Far from understood
Ch
Kneeling at the altar,
shitting in your bed
Following traitor,
try the truth instead
I dont need a prophet
To tell me I am good
The taste of honey
Spent all my money
Haven’t seen much sun round here
She lost her reflex
We bounced some bad checks
think I wanna disappear
you play the blame game
Bugs in the mainframe
Nobody wants to take the heat these days
But I think it’s coming
I hear the humming
All those useless yesterdays
Green lights all night
Too right to sit tight
Starshine on goldmines
This is how you still make me feel
You lay the barbed wire I call a ceasefire
Swear we must be lost this time
You tripped the mousetrap
I ripped the road map
Nothing left but one thin dime
So gimme something
Oh, less than nothing
Something I can wrap my arms around
I stare at sunshine
To find a good sign
We can find some common ground
Green lights all night
Too right to sit tight
Starshine on goldmines
This is how you still make me feel
Pick your moments
gold turns to dust
Breathe in slow fits
Rage turns to rust
Green lights all night
Too right to sit tight
Starshine on goldmines
This is how you still make me feel
v1:
I pledge allegiance to what's true and what's right
Not to the biggest dog in the fight
Not to the men who started the war
Unless they can tell us what we're fighting for
So I pledge allegiance to what's true and what's right
And that's how I sleep at night
v2:
I pledge allegiance to kindness & grace
Not to the ones who try to keep us afraid
Not to the men (& women) who would sell out their souls
All for the gain of power & gold
So I pledge allegiance to kindness & grace
That's enough to get me through most of my days
br:
So don't get me wrong, I'm not tryin' to make waves
But I don't see many leaders worthy of praise
I sure like it here, but I feel lucky, not proud
If you don't like the music, you can just change the sound
v3:
They say that in Christ, there's no Gentile, no Jew
I reckon that means there's no me, there's no you
We should all join together and focus on us
Call it a giant rehearsal for love
If we love our borders, that's some pretty tough news
But what else are we to do?
v4:
I pledge allegiance to no flag nor land
That's just something I don't understand
I've met good & bad people all over this earth
I can't just love the ones who share the same dirt
So I pledge allegiance to no flag nor land
And I hope you'll understand
