Now darkness and tribulation have us in a deadly hold; Devious plots of the powerful are continuing to unfold I've seen the hatred and lies released as the poisoned arrows fly, aimed at the poor and the vulnerable . . . I've watched the wounded cry As long as these lies and hatred reign, you're going to hear from me; I can't condone nor tolerate this deluge of bigotry Housing is unaffordable -- too many living in the street; Why do the wealthy get to decide who will starve and who gets to eat? As the country writhes in turmoil Anarchy is clanging the gate; Democracy is a dying dream! Wake up before it's too late Did Francis Bellamy envision this when he bravely answered the call to write the Pledge of Allegiance, vowing liberty and justice for all? If the Flame of Justice burns in you as a sense of duty and a right, Voice your protests, let your light shine . . . united we'll prevail in this fight!

I'll Not Go Quietly In This Dark Night
Now darkness and tribulation have us in a deadly hold; Devious plots of the powerful are continuing to unfold I've seen the hatred and lies released as the poisoned arrows fly, aimed at the poor and the vulnerable . . . I've watched the wounded cry As long as these lies and hatred reign, you're going to hear from me; I can't condone nor tolerate this deluge of bigotry Housing is unaffordable -- too many living in the street; Why do the wealthy get to decide who will starve and who gets to eat? As the country writhes in turmoil Anarchy is clanging the gate; Democracy is a dying dream! Wake up before it's too late Did Francis Bellamy envision this when he bravely answered the call to write the Pledge of Allegiance, vowing liberty and justice for all? If the Flame of Justice burns in you as a sense of duty and a right, Voice your protests, let your light shine . . . united we'll prevail in this fight!
I can't take much more of the lies, hatred, fraud, cheating, and crimes committed by this government. The evil is spreading through our country like a cancer.
