I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the "United States" of America
To the republic, for which it stands
I love being held down and beaten by the man
I love oppression and democracy
Government corruption as far as I can see
I love my uncle, his name is Sam
When i try to kneel in protest, he forces me to stand
The greatest country in the world
It brings a tear to my eye when i see that flag unfurled
I love religion when it’s forced on me
Churches don't pay taxes in this society
'Cause that's what this country is all about
I will live and die in the USA with a gun inside my mouth
The greatest country in the world
It brings a tear to my eye when i see that flag unfurled
"The greatest country" I've been told,
It brings a tear to my eye as the Civil War unfolds
The greatest country of them all,
It brings a tear to my eye as I watch the empire fall
We live in a "free" country.

She’s a big shot in the punk rock scene
Going to shows every other week
She’s a hot shot--a punk rock queen
You can’t slow her down when she’s takin’ speed
If i’m fire, she’s gasoline
She’s a writer, for the local ‘zine
She’s on fire drinking kerosene
Cold glass of water when you are thirsty
Because she’s better off on her own
That’s why she ran away from home
She took a bus ride cause she can’t drive
In a few years, she’ll be 25
She got a new job at the punk rock dive
She’s a bouncer but she’s 4'5
I’m a sucker for a punk rock smile,
Leather jacket, and her punk rock style
But she’s better off on her own
That’s why she ran away from home
No more change for the pay phone
Daddy’s a cop, that much i know
So she ran away, away from home
And now she’s living on her own
She’s Anne Arky.

I am an outcast, I never have fit in
Living on the fringes of society
I am a loner, not here for making friends
Looking around, what do I see?
We are living in exile
Punk rock vagabonds with punk rock smiles
We are living in denial
Banished from society, but we’re coming back in style
Punk rock rascals, punk rock scamps
Punk rock assholes, skate punk ramps
I am an outcast, but my spirit isn’t broke
You can’t make me care about society
When you’re an outcast, you learn to take a joke
Don't care if you look down on me
Punk rock vagabonds (and they're coming back in style)

I got my Chuck Taylor's strapped onto my feet
Grabbed a Nature Valley bar, got no time to eat
Let’s steal your dad’s beer and hit the road
Only 26 miles to get to the show
Pile into your mom’s ‘17 Forester
55 in a 50, don’t tell your sister!
So let’s steal your dad’s beer and hit the road
Only 25 miles left to go!
So let’s steal your dad’s whiskey and hit the road
Only 24 miles left to go!
We stole your dad’s drinks when we hit the road
Only 23 miles....only 22 miles!
We stole your dad’s booze and then hit the road
Only 21 miles left to go
We’re on our way to the show!

Where did you go when you skipped out on the show
You would think, that by now that’s just something I would know
That you’re a punk rock poser
A fucking punk rock loser
What a big surprise, Ifound you out back with the guys
You were getting in the car, well you can kiss the scene goodbye
We don’t want punk rock posers
Assholes who leaves before the closer
Then you saw us and tried to come back in
Said you were getting food for your fucking friend?
No, you eat before fucking the show
What do you think this is? A "come-and-go-as-you-please" sorta place?
Wrong. It’s a scene with a punk rock community, built on unity
Did you expect impunity? You disgust us
We’re gonna turn you to dust.
I need a poser skull to bust
We tried to show you love
But now we’re taking off the gloves
You’re just a punk rock poser
Fucking punk rock loser
Next time you RSVP, it better not be to come see me
You are not welcome inside our growing punk rock colony
Bye bye, punk rock poser
Have a nice life being a loser

I changed the world again
I made a brand new friend
Do you want to change the world today?
Do you want to fix humanity?
I got a callus on my feet
From helping ladies cross the street
Do you want to change the world today?
Do you want to fix humanity?
I hold open the door
For a lady at the store
Do you want to change the world today?
Do you want to fix humanity?
So I fixed humanity...again

Standing outside of your window, hoping you will let me in
I'm sorry that I hurt you again
And if I had a million dollars, maybe we could start again
I want to be more than punk rock friends
But you left me on my own at this local punk rock show
and I didn’t even want to go
Standing outside of your window wishing you would take me back
I brought some smokes and a cold 6 pack
Please don’t leave me on my own
At this fuckin Downstrokes show
Please just let me come on home to you

Looking into my crystal ball, I’ll tell you what I see
A world of love once we smash the system and set ourselves free.
No more oppression or tyranny
Only peace, no aggression for eternity
Welcome to paradise
The breeze is cool, and the water is nice
In punk rock paradise
No more violence, no more fights
So grab your hammer and strike the government
The time has come for capitol punishment
Then you and I can relax in the sun all day
We achieved victory that’s all there is to say
Welcome to paradise
The breeze is cool, and the water is nice
In punk rock paradise
No more violence, no more fights

Oh please, won’t you untie me my Uncle Sam?

I've got some rank propaganda for you:
Show respect for the red white and blue
"But that song in my heart still rings true"
Had to say that or else I’d be sued
The red stands for the blood on their hands
They’re so blistery from white washing history
The white represents all the former presidents
The blue signifies the tears that will fall from my eyes
When you stand with your hand on your heart
Close your eyes and say “I'm just doing my part”
So wave your flag that you bought at Walmart
You’re a hero, yeah you’re really, really smart
The red stands for the blood on their hands
They’re so blistery from white washing history
The white represents all the former presidents
The blue signifies the tears that will fall from my eyes
So wave your phones up in the sky
As the aeroplanes fly by
Such a patriotic guy
Kinda makes me wanna, no, really makes me wanna die

Consider this your invitation to our special celebration
You’re all invited to the best night of your lives
It don’t matter who you are
Don’t matter what you’ve done
We’ve built this tent big enough for everyone
So funnel in
Take your seats
Let’s begin
We doused the place in gasoline
Dismantled the machine
Fuck your families, burn ‘em alive
We can hear you screaming
"Please save us! we don't want to die!"

(Punk) Rock Bottom
01:15

When you're thinkin that you've reached rock bottom,
There's someone standing at the fucking top
With a hand reached out to grab you,
Ready to fuckin pull you up
I'll be there if you think you might drown
And I’ll pull you out of the hole you crawled down
Do you remember last November when the cops showed up?
They searched your car, and your pockets, and they took your stuff
They threw you in the paddy wagon, hauled your ass to jail
You were so thankful when I got my dad to pay your bail
I'll be there if you think you might drown
And I'll pull you out of the hole you crawled down
I'll be there cause I'm your punk rock best friend
You can count on me even if the world ends

No Guarantee

When you’re asleep do you dream of me
And the time we spent before this misery?
before the protests even started, we thought we were the only target
Guess the first amendment has no guarantee (yeah)
When the cops showed that day
I thought you had my back but you had walked away
And now I dream of yesterday
The people we think we know aren’t who they really say
So while I'm throwing stones, you’re kicking rocks
I stayed hard while you went soft
And now I see I’m better off alone
Yeah I’m still here while you logged off
And your last post said “not all cops”
You may wonder where I’ve been, but I don’t care to see your face again
So while I'm throwing stones, you’re kicking rocks
I stayed hard while you went soft
And now I see I’m better off alone
Yeah I’m still here while you logged off

...When the Smoke Clears
04:27

I had a vision of a world without a politician
No more reagans, no more Nixons, no more Bush or Clintons,
No more tax breaks for the fucking rich and one percent,
No more pigs, no more landlords, no more fucking rent
(Cut off their heads)
Hang their fucking bodies on the telephone wires
(Make sure they’re dead)
Feed their goddamn children to the roaring fires
When the smoke clears and you’re with me still
We will finally be set free
When the smoke clears, we’ll be fulfilled
And we’ll finally be free
When the smoke clears, we will rebuild
We will finally be free
But our struggle isn’t over
(We’ve just begun)
Tons of shit left to be done
Put an end to the shareholders
(One by one)
