  • Oh!

    Hey! Can't you see we're tripping on the wire
    Walking through the candy land of our desires
    Press the magic button and behold the world you crave
    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 follows 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
    Damnation, 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 scorn
    And now the fire keeps us (keeps us)

    Tunnel vision, no man
    Damnation, god damn
    Can't see the forest for the trees
    Can't heal the wound before we bleed Writer/s: Brian Elwin Haner, Brooks Wackerman, Jonathan Lewis Seward, Matthew Charles Sanders, Zachary James Baker
