You Are Correct
Broken Allegiance · Institutional Betrayal · Moral Hypocrisy · Pissed-Off Rock Anthem
(Pledge! Pledge! Say the fuckin’ pledge!)
(Pledge! Pledge! Say the fuckin’ pledge!)
(Pledge! Pledge! Say the fuckin’ pledge!)
Aghh, you fuckin’ assholes, alright!
#VERSE
I pledge myself to the open sea
Like the pirate I was meant to be
Swear off lovers, lager, and song
Until the next port comes along
I pledge my soul to destiny
To the love of the lie known as history
To selective memory of who I’ve killed
With hurtful words my pen has spilled
#PRE-CHORUS
And I’ll never beg forgiveness
’Cause I know full well I did this
#CHORUS
I’ll walk the plank
I’ll leave the ledge
I’ll pay the price
For what I’ve said
I’ll live my own lie
Till I’m dead
That’s my fuckin’ pledge
Yes, that’s my fuckin’ pledge!
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
I pledge allegiance to the dream
That dirty thoughts never come clean
And though I know it isn’t true
I won’t repent for what I do
I won’t look back with sad regret
For Hell that I’ve not witnessed yet
Won’t polish gold at Heaven’s gate
For a Master who won’t show his face
#PRE-CHORUS
But I raise my ale to those like me
My fellow pirates lost at sea
#CHORUS
We’ll walk the plank
We’ll leave the ledge
We’ll pay the price
For what we’ve said
We’ll live our own lies
Till we’re dead
That’s our fuckin’ pledge
Yes, that’s our fuckin’ pledge!
#BRIDGE
I always said I’d tell the truth
“On Scout’s honor” in my youth
Their handbook told me how to live
Fucked the mind of this young kid
“Don’t take things in your own hand
Follow us and be a man”
That humid summer my soul died
Learned that their book and leaders lied
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Buried in Sakima’s hills
Lies innocence left unfulfilled
#PRE-CHORUS
My fellow pirates lost at sea
Don’t say the pledge, don’t die like me
#CHORUS
I’ll walk the plank
I’ll leave the ledge
I’ll pay the price
For what I’ve said
I’ll live my own lie
Till I’m dead
That’s my fuckin’ pledge
Yes, that’s my fuckin’ pledge
