Titus Andronicus - Crass Tattoo lyrics
[Titus Andronicus - Crass Tattoo lyrics]
My twenty-fourth birthday
The day I was inscribed
With the sacred emblem I will
Wear until I die my twenty-fourth birthday
I made my solemn vow
Praying, "may I never know more
Than I know now"
My right arm, I dedicated to that noble cause
To dismantle authority and nullify all laws
And construct in their vacancy a kinder
Juster world one human race united beneath
The black flag unfurled
The piercing of the needle as
Tainted blood runs clean
The shattering of shackles
Hithertofore unseen
The thrill of knowing purpose
Of wondering no more
The journey laid before me
At only twenty-four
Right arm, do no evil -right arm, please
Be true right arm
Swing for righteousness- you wear
A Crass tattoo
The day I was inscribed
With the sacred emblem I will
Wear until I die my twenty-fourth birthday
I made my solemn vow
Praying, "may I never know more
Than I know now"
My right arm, I dedicated to that noble cause
To dismantle authority and nullify all laws
And construct in their vacancy a kinder
Juster world one human race united beneath
The black flag unfurled
The piercing of the needle as
Tainted blood runs clean
The shattering of shackles
Hithertofore unseen
The thrill of knowing purpose
Of wondering no more
The journey laid before me
At only twenty-four
Right arm, do no evil -right arm, please
Be true right arm
Swing for righteousness- you wear
A Crass tattoo
