Where My Allegiance Lies Lyrics

I'm not throwing anchors anywhere
My back's not up against
Any fucking wall

We're all told "We've got a plan for you"
We're all shown the doors we should walk through
We're all taught this world will define you...

I swear to the skies,
To these streets where
My allegiance lies

It's to you,
It's to me,
It's to us all, the people
I know we could be.

Not to any flag or government.

We still
Walk down the paths that they've carved for us
Speak in the language they taught to us
Breathe in the poisons they force on us
Believe in the visions they dreamt for us

Nearly every outlet,
Nearly every teacher
Speaks to our "great divide"
An illusion, it's an illusion

They'll use anything
To disarm you
To make you feel your dead inside,
Insignificant, all alone
We will define, we'll redefine
We will teach and we will learn.
