there are 2 guitars in this song they play the same thing you'll hear one guitar high
pitched... the second guitar plays an octave lower, so while the lead guitar plays an
octave on an f (i'll mark it with * ) the other plays the standard F in the 1-3-3-
position. good luck, any questions, comments, just contact me.

Look how the ruts cling to my footsteps 
                   
the fatal invisible tool 
                 (enter2ndgtr)            
by which we define we fight! for our approval 
                               *       *
and fear our removal from the safety of fools 
                            
from 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? 


                         * *
Brothers in spirit sisters in rage, 
                                       * *
will we live out our lives in this concrete cage? 
                             
another heartbeat lost another police murder 
              *     *
buried in the public eyes on the back page. 
                  
Heartbeats lost in a new world order 
                     *    *
hobbled and bound but still walking away 


                
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                                  
nothing more, nothing less than my humanity 
                
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                         
searching for vision not invisibility 
                  
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                   
searching for vision not invisibility 
                  
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                                 
until the last lock breaks none of us are free

we fight! to balance our minds 
                    *                
petty powers pushing profits over our lifetimes 
                            
world leaders mortaging our lives with words 
                      *        
I don't need to be reminded of whom you really serve.

Brothers in spirit sisters in rage, 
                                        * *
will we live out our lives in this concrete cage? 
                             
another heartbeat lost another police murder 
              *     *
buried in the public eyes on the back page.  
                 
Heartbeats lost in a new world order
                    *  *   
standing alone with our backs to the maze 


                
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                                  
nothing more, nothing less than my humanity

until the last lock breaks none of us are free 
                  
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                    
for nothing more, nothing less 


                    
in justice in hunger united 
                    
searching for vision united 
                    
in justice in hunger united 
A       C          F(let ring then palm mute into "i pledge...")
law and order but for whose order? 


                
I pledge allegiance to the world 
                                  
nothing more, nothing less than my humanity
