[Verse]
Perjury’s a crime
But they walk so free
Breakin' their word like it’s a casual spree (oo-yeah!)
Violence on the people
Rights torn apart
A promise broken is a broken heart
[Prechorus]
Can’t keep it real
Then step aside
Oath’s a bond
Not a joyride (hoo!)
[Chorus]
Your oath ain't mine forever
Nah nah nah
You promised truth
But now it's blah blah blah
If you can’t hold the line
Better wave goodbye
Your oath ain't mine forever
Time to fly!
[Verse 2]
They smile and they grin
While the papers burn
Justice in the gutter
When will we learn? (say what?)
Empty words echo
Louder than a scream
A broken system or a shattered dream?
[Prechorus]
Can't fake respect
Can't twist the creed
An oath is sacred
Not born of greed (ohhh!)
[Chorus]
Your oath ain't mine forever
Nah nah nah
You promised truth
But now it's blah blah blah
If you can’t hold the line
Better wave goodbye
Your oath ain't mine forever
Time to fly!
