I Will Not Bow Down Songtext
von By the Grace of God

I Will Not Bow Down America

I will not Bow Down
To your Government
To your Religion

I will not Bow Down America
To your Materialism
To your International Corporations
To your Religious Shrines
Your Stock Markets
Your Shopping Malls

I will not Bow Down America
To your Coal Mines
To your Power Plants

I will not go crawling down the deep shafts at midnight


I will not Bow Down America
To your invasion of privacy
To your moral absolutes
Your religious political might
I will not Bow Down America
To your a**assins
The CIA the FBI the Corporate Police State
Your Killing Murdering Machines

I will not Bow Down America
To your Bureaucracies
To your schools
To your attempt to make me the model citizen
Of Your State of Your Church

I will not Bow Down America
To your Hisstory
Of Lies
To your Secrets
In the Best interest of
To protect
The People


America
I pledge allegiance
To those who were here before you
To those who will be here after you are gone
America
I pledge allegiance
To the woman I love
And to our children
I pledge allegiance
To my friends and allies
My guides and angels
Both seen and unseen
America
I pledge allegiance
To poetry to music to art
To the literary renaissance
To the global literary community
I pledge allegiance to the Beat to the Outsider
I pledge allegiance to meditation to stillness
To magic to beautiful mysticism to ecstasy
To AH and AHA
To the Big Bang Epiphany
To altered states of consciousness
I pledge allegiance
To seeing
Into the occult the unknown
To seeing
Into everyday into the ordinary
And being amazed
I pledge allegiance to the Sacred and the Profane
To gnostical turpitude
I pledge allegiance to my physical body
And to the knowledge that I am more than
My physical body
I pledge allegiance to seeing more than
The physical world and to those
Of higher frequency vibration
And consciousness
I pledge allegiance to passing through
The Sacred Fire
To entering the upper chamber of the
Golden pyramid
To levitating over the open sarcophagus
To out of body experience
I pledge allegiance to the hottest sex
And to gentle affection
I pledge allegiance to fractal geometry
The geometry of clouds and coastlines
To 2x2 equaling 5
I pledge allegiance to Failure
To failing as no other dare fail
I pledge allegiance to taking risks
To holy daring
To nam myoho renge kyo
To accepting responsibility for my own actions
I pledge allegiance to not achieving
The American Dream of Success
America
I pledge allegiance to trees to green grass
To brown earth to wildflowers of every color
To wilderness to turquoise Native American skies
To rivers lakes and seas
To healing the earth
I pledge allegiance to the Holy Spirit
To the Word and to Silence
I pledge allegiance to Dreams
I pledge allegiance to Birth to the Journey and to Death
I pledge allegiance
To Candor to Sincerity to Laughter and to Irony
I pledge allegiance to Passion to Compassion
To Empathy and to helping those in need |
I pledge allegiance to Resurrection of the Heart

NO
America
