[Verse]
I pledge allegiance to the sky so blue
Where dreams get caught and promises flew
One nation drowning in a sea of lies
We feed the flame but the fire never dies
[Chorus]
How can you swear and never stay true
It’s the anthem of red white and blue
Broken words they echo and sting
In this land where hope’s just a fleeting thing
[Verse 2]
We stand in shadows cast by golden thrones
Built on the backs of forgotten bones
The flag waves high but it starts to fray
A silent scream in the light of day
[Chorus]
How can you swear and never stay true
It’s the anthem of red white and blue
Broken words they echo and sting
In this land where hope’s just a fleeting thing
[Bridge]
Promises made with a wink and a grin
Shattered dreams where do we begin
The weight of truth too heavy to bear
But still we rise from the depths of despair
[Chorus]
How can you swear and never stay true
It’s the anthem of red white and blue
Broken words they echo and sting
In this land where hope’s just a fleeting thing
