Street Sweeper Social Club lyrics : "The Oath"

The lamppost could swear
It had seen me before
And stared

As I stumbled through
the motel door
The dirty mirror

Also thought I
looked familiar
But commented only

that my suit was
Brilliant The TV
Bolted to the wall

and cracked
Remembered how I cried
And said I'd

never come back
In the lacquer of the table
I had carved my oath

With burnt butter knife
And this is what I wrote


I pledge
To get their foot
off my neck

Instead
I shall demand my respect
I'll fight

Even if I won't win
Alright
The beginning is the end

I pledge
To make the bosses cringe
Instead we'll get

some justified ends
I'll fight
Til the system is gone Recite

This ex-losers song

(Yeeee!)

Alright, Mutha$#&@as!
(Coo-Coooo!)
Fight, Mutha$#&@as!

(Yeeee!)
Alright, Mutha$#&@as!
(Coo-Coooo!)

Fight, Mutha$#&@as!

I pledge

To live life as lesson
That said
Even my words are weapons

I'll fight
Show love in motion
Alright

Mountains move from oceans
I pledge there is
no surrender

Instead I'll expose
their agenda Fight
And make vampires bleed Recite

This ex-losers creed

(Yeeee!)

Alright, Mutha$#&@as!
(Coo-Coooo!)
Fight, Mutha$#&@as!

(Yeeee!)
Alright, Mutha$#&@as!
(Coo-Coooo!)

Fight, Mutha$#&@as!

I pledge

That I'll taste each second
That said
I know each

moment's a present
I'll fight
A battle fit for ballads
Alright
At two we hit the palace

I pledge
That we are individuals
That said
From you I'm indivisible Fight
And match the

blaze of comets Recite
This ex-losers promise

The carpet
Inquired

If I'd lay there again
And where was the girl
From when there
last I had been
The commode

Refused to speak
As I made my escape
It knew ever subtle
nuance of my war
Torn face
The concrete outside

Felt disrespected
It was partly my
fault it had been
neglected
At the precipice of fate
Is where I carved my oath
With the dagger

from my back
And you know what I wrote

(Yeeee!)
Alright, Mutha$#&@as!
(Coo-Coooo!)
Fight, Mutha$#&@as!

(Yeeee!)
Alright, Mutha$#&@as!
(Coo-Coooo!)
Fight, Mutha$#&@as!

Na na naa na, [etc.]
