Lyrics
One Nation, Under GOD
When I was a little boy in school
I tried to learn "the golden rule"
And every morning at the start of the day
I pledged allegiance---I was raised that way
"Liberty and Justice for all"
I spoke the words
I heard the call
This instilled in me a sense of pride
Traveling with me side by side
Through every single day of my life
Gave me a sense of wrong and right
Now the Devil's got his way
When you're in school they won't let you say
One Nation, Under GOD
Oh, tell me, where did we go wrong?
If you don't believe---that's alright with me
But don't you impose your belief on me
'Cause I'd rather pray
That's all that I'm saying
That's the way I feel
If they told you Satan isn't real
Take a better look around---
Right now---he's the one that made it suck out loud
I call a spade a spade
Just like we did back in the days
Do you even know your history?
Our Grandfathers died to be free
To make a better world for you and me
The Land Of The Brave, The Home Of The Free
I'm saying The Pledge---That's All
If this is a drag, go out in the hall
One Nation, Under GOD
This is my right---I won't be robbed
If you don't believe---that's fine with me
But don't you impose your beliefs on me
'Cause I'm gonna say:
I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag
Of The United States Of America
And To The Republic,
For Which It Stands,
One Nation,
Under GOD,
Indivisible,
With Liberty,
And Justice,
For All
There's no more time to look away
We've gotta clean up house and do it today
This is not about Left or Right
Nor is it about Black or White
If you're wondering what's the fuss
Remember the words:
IN GOD WE TRUST
One Nation, Under GOD
One Nation, Under GOD
One Nation, Under GOD
Tell me, where did we go wrong?
If you don't believe---that's okay with me
But get your hands off my Liberty
Our Grandfathers died
So we'd have the right
You go 'head outside
One Nation, Under GOD
One Nation, Under GOD
Indivisible,
With Liberty,
And Justice,
For All
