Pledge and Prayer

Pledge and Prayer

Complain and gripe of all the things
that happen in our schools
Yell and scream and carry on
like you're a bunch of fools

Be offended, feelings hurt
how could you dare to pray
What about the anti christs
won't let you have your say

Who cares about what's in the heart
they're changing all the rules
They don't care what made us great
there's no more prayer in schools

Offending those that don't believe
how could you be so crass
Tearing down america
take prayer away from class

Pledge allegiance in the schools
you're taking that away?
Fastest way to bring revolt
no more pledge or pray

There are a lot of countries
in this world where you can go
where you will have a "life time room"
if you aren't with the flow.....
