The Oath Lyrics


The lamppost could swear
It had seen me before and stared
As I stumbled through the motel door
The dirty mirror
Also thought I looked familiar
But commented only that my suit was
Brilliant
The TV
Bolted to the wall and cracked
Remembered how I cried
And said I'd never come back
In the lacquer of the table
I had carved my oath
With burnt butter knife
And this is what I wrote
I pledge
To get their foot off my neck
Instead

I shall demand my respect
I'll fight
Even if I won't win
Alright
The beginning is the end
I pledge
To make the bosses cringe
Instead we'll get some justified ends
I'll fight
Til the system is gone
Recite
This ex-losers song
(Yee)
Alright, muthafuckas
(Coo-Coo)
Fight, muthafuckas
(Yee)
Alright, muthafuckas
(Coo-Coo)
Fight, muthafuckas
I pledge
To live life as lesson
That said
Even my words are weapons
I'll fight
Show love in motion
Alright
Mountains move from oceans
I pledge there is no surrender
Instead I'll expose their agenda
Fight
And make vampires bleed
Recite
This ex-losers creed
(Yee)
Alright, muthafuckas
(Coo-coo)
Fight, muthafuckas
(Yee)
Alright, muthafuckas
(Coo-coo)
Fight, muthafuckas
I pledge
That I'll taste each second
That said
I know each moment's a present
I'll fight
A battle fit for ballads
Alright
At two we hit the palace
I pledge
That we are individuals
That said
From you I'm indivisible
Fight
And match the blaze of comets
Recite
This ex-losers promise
The carpet inquired
If I'd lay there again
And where was the girl
From when there last I had been
The commode
Refused to speak
As I made my escape
It knew ever subtle nuance of my war
Torn face
The concrete outside
Felt disrespected
It was partly my fault it had been neglected
At the precipice of fate
Is where I carved my oath
With the dagger from my back
And you know what I wrote
(Yee)
Alright, muthafuckas
(Coo-Coo)
Fight, muthafuckas
(Yee)
Alright, muthafuckas
(Coo-Coo)
Fight, muthafuckas
Na, na, naa, na

Street Sweeper Social Club is an American rock band consisting of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) and Boots Riley (The Coup). Stanton Moore (Galactic) performed drums on their upcoming album. Their first known performance as "Street Sweeper" was at the Commodore Ballroom (2008-11-06), where they played a song called 100 Little Curses.

They have recorded their first album Street Sweeper Social Club, which was released on June 16th on East West Records.

- 'It's revolutionary party jams' says Tom Morello 'It's got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom'.

Riley added, - 'This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They'll need something to listen to on their ipods while storming Wall Street...'

Their official web site: http://streetsweepersocialclub.com/, features a track called Paper Planes

"The Ghetto Blaster EP" is an EP from Street Sweeper Social Club. The EP is released on August 10, 2010. It features covers of "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. and "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J as well a remix of the bands second single "Promenade". They will also cover The Coup song "Everythang". It has also been confirmed that the full touring band has recorded on the album. Tom Morello spoke on the new EP in a press release, saying that they are shooting for an interesting combination of groups. "On The Ghetto Blaster EP we were shooting for a combo of the first Clash record and the Ohio Players greatest hits, interwoven with tractor trailer size riffs of course. This record definitely has more of a 'band' feel than the first, and Boots’ lyrics and delivery have never been sharper." Boots Riley has also said of the upcoming EP “We got a new EP that’s going to come out called The Ghetto Blaster EP. [You can expect] hard, hard, hard music and some raw as lyrics on top.”
