Allegiance
Have you ever loved an empire 'cause your daddy said you should
And pledged your allegiance to the ground where you stood
Have you traded your smile for a hate you call good
And fired off cannons in the name of a book
Have you ever believed that the polls were a fight
And got restless at wartime 'cause your god's house is white
Have you ever thought Jesus made his home on the right
And sang all the old songs while hiding the light
I've been there too
Been finding my own way through
I've been the fool
Abusing my tools
Been asleep in my bed
It's been long enough
So let me stretch my legs
'Cause it feels like I'm just waking up
Do you ever think that you should say sorry sometimes
For the time that you wasted and the times that you cried
Have you found that a savior is renewing your mind
And found peace in a land where it's so hard to find
And pledged your allegiance to the ground where you stood
Have you traded your smile for a hate you call good
And fired off cannons in the name of a book
Have you ever believed that the polls were a fight
And got restless at wartime 'cause your god's house is white
Have you ever thought Jesus made his home on the right
And sang all the old songs while hiding the light
I've been there too
Been finding my own way through
I've been the fool
Abusing my tools
Been asleep in my bed
It's been long enough
So let me stretch my legs
'Cause it feels like I'm just waking up
Do you ever think that you should say sorry sometimes
For the time that you wasted and the times that you cried
Have you found that a savior is renewing your mind
And found peace in a land where it's so hard to find
