Description
This song was written by me and my buddy Bert back in ’96 for our old band “Zero” (ahhh....so that’s where this Zero Agenda thing comes from). I had always thought this song rocked hard and was always perplexed at why we lost the College battle of the bands to a cheesy wanna-be Red Hot Chili Peppers funk band. (yeah I know Kicbal, I later joined that cheesy band but hey, look what it morphed into!)
Anyhow, It’s kinda funny that I chose to give this song some new life and a new recording in 2011 when the message of this song is more relevant than I ever thought it would be. Im friends with many people of varying political spectrums and opinions, but one thing we have in common is a deep love for our country and a shared sense of frustration with the situation we are in at this moment in history. This song can be interpreted in many ways, so at the very least I hope you enjoy some Slammin’ guitars and consider whats happening around you. Enjoy...

Lyrics
V1
I pledge allegiance
To a flag that's at half mast
Won't sell my future
To a man whose ship won't last
No argument
Could be made that would make it right
No outside forces
Rome fell from its own pride...
Chorus
But I won't go quietly
Nor will I give in too easily
V2
A man walks in
Eyes the field and stalks his prey
Content in sin
His fate is sealed, no more to say...
Chorus
But I won't go quietly
Nor will I give in too easily...
Bridge
Pax Romana was a misnomer
the fall has begun
and I won’t run
I won’t run...
And I won’t go quietly
Nor will I give in too easily.....
I pledge allegiance
To a flag that's at half mast
Won't sell my future
To a man whose ship won't last
No argument
Could be made that would make it right
No outside forces
Rome fell from its own pride...
Chorus
But I won't go quietly
Nor will I give in too easily
V2
A man walks in
Eyes the field and stalks his prey
Content in sin
His fate is sealed, no more to say...
Chorus
But I won't go quietly
Nor will I give in too easily...
Bridge
Pax Romana was a misnomer
the fall has begun
and I won’t run
I won’t run...
And I won’t go quietly
Nor will I give in too easily.....

This is by far my favorite post of yours to date (and I love all your posts). The chord changes and riffs are outstanding. Production and mix are great! Downloaded!
