The Oath Lyrics - Street Sweeper Social Club - Street Sweeper Social Club

The lamppost could swear 

It had seen me before and stared 

As I stumbled through the motel door 

The dirty mirror 

Also thought I looked familiar 

But commented only that my suit was 

Brilliant 

The TV 

Bolted to the wall and cracked 

Remembered how I cried 

And said I'd never come back 

In the lacquer of the table 

I had carved my oath 

With burnt butter knife 

And this is what I wrote 

I pledge 

To get their foot off my neck 

Instead 

I shall demand my respect 

I'll fight 

Even if I won't win 

Alright 

The beginning is the end 

I pledge 

To make the bosses cringe 

Instead we'll get some justified ends 

I'll fight 

Til the system is gone 

Recite 

This ex-losers song 

(Yee) 

Alright, muthafuckas 

(Coo-Coo) 

Fight, muthafuckas 

(Yee) 

Alright, muthafuckas 

(Coo-Coo) 

Fight, muthafuckas 

I pledge 

To live life as lesson 

That said 

Even my words are weapons 

I'll fight 

Show love in motion 

Alright 

Mountains move from oceans 

I pledge there is no surrender 

Instead I'll expose their agenda 

Fight 

And make vampires bleed 

Recite 

This ex-losers creed 

(Yee) 

Alright, muthafuckas 

(Coo-coo) 

Fight, muthafuckas 

(Yee) 

Alright, muthafuckas 

(Coo-coo) 

Fight, muthafuckas 

I pledge 

That I'll taste each second 

That said 

I know each moment's a present 

I'll fight 

A battle fit for ballads 

Alright 

At two we hit the palace 

I pledge 

That we are individuals 

That said 

From you I'm indivisible 

Fight 

And match the blaze of comets 

Recite 

This ex-losers promise 

The carpet inquired 

If I'd lay there again 

And where was the girl 

From when there last I had been 

The commode 

Refused to speak 

As I made my escape 

It knew ever subtle nuance of my war 

Torn face 

The concrete outside 

Felt disrespected 

It was partly my fault it had been neglected 

At the precipice of fate 

Is where I carved my oath 

With the dagger from my back 

And you know what I wrote 

(Yee) 

Alright, muthafuckas 

(Coo-Coo) 

Fight, muthafuckas 

(Yee) 

Alright, muthafuckas 

(Coo-Coo) 

Fight, muthafuckas 

Na, na, naa, na
