Look how the ruts cling to my footsteps
The fatal invisible tool, by which we define
We fight for our approval
And fear our removal from the safety of foolsFrom the tidal forces of our positions
Not won, not one to take for granted
Are our rebel hymns in canted
To sing in the mines for the fortunate sons?So brothers in spirit sisters in rage
Will we live out our lives in this concrete cage?
Another heartbeat lost another police murderBuried in the public eyes on the back page
Heartbeats lost in a new world order
Hobbled and bound but still walking awayI pledge allegiance to the world
Nothing more, nothing less than my humanity
I pledge allegiance to the world
Searching for vision not invisibilityI pledge allegiance to the world
Searching for vision not invisibility
I pledge allegiance to the worldUntil the last law breaks none of us are free
Until the last law breaks, none of us are freeWe fight to balance our minds
Petty powers pushing profits over our lifetimes
World leaders mortgaging our lives with words
I don't need to be reminded of whom you really serveBrothers in spirit, sisters in rage
Will we live out or lives in this concrete cage?
Another heartbeat another police murderBuried in the public eyes on the back page
Too many heartbeats lost in the new world order
While we're standing alone with our backs to the mazeI pledge allegiance to the world
Searching for vision not invisibility
I pledge allegiance to the world
Until the last law breaks none of us are freeI pledge allegiance to the world
Searching for vision not invisibility
I pledge allegiance to the world
In justice in hunger united searchingFor vision united in justice in hunger united
Law and order but for whose order?
I pledge allegiance to the world
Nothing more, nothing less than my humanityI pledge allegiance to the world
Until the last law breaks none of us are free
I pledge allegiance to the world
Under no nation will we ever beI pledge allegiance to the world
Nothing more, nothing less
Than my humanity pledge allegiance
To our humanity, to our humanity
To our humanity, to the world
