I pledge allegiance to the fags, the immigrants, the drunks,

The disenfranchised punks, hidden by rags


And there's no such thing as god, for if there was,

He'd be lost in obscurity where he belongs



We are children of space and crustaceans

All our extremities licked by flames of the sun

Raised underwater by ice-dwelling mammals

Schooled in a network of nerves, untied and undone



We emerge unscathed, never looking back to wonder how

Betrothed, betrayed, never having figured out

You're so much more than the sum of the family you're from

And the circumstances which you grew up around

And if there really is a truth, then you'll never get your head around it



My father crawled on the floor of the ocean

The son of shit-tons of atoms swirling around

My mother slept in the wake of a comet

Catching on fire and slamming into the ground



Someday when we've all evolved back to nothing

We'll spend our whole life exploding under the stars

With even less of a real understanding

That this incredible journey was actually ours
