lyrics

ignorance is the plea of the weak
to many shepherds are raping the sheep
no excuses no need for remorse
violence is the god given course

i am big brother’s son
generals orders “kill everyone”
we pledge allegiance to bullets and guns
we are the death pilots
we are the death pilots

it’s not the size its the quantity killed
protect the sick and the mentally ill
truth justice and the american way
now get out there and make the enemy pay

i am big brother’s son
generals orders “kill everyone”
we pledge allegiance to bullets and guns
we are the death pilots
we are the death pilots

i pledge allegiance
i pledge allegiance to bullets and guns
i pledge allegiance to the united snakes of america
i pledge allegiance

i am big brother’s son
generals orders “kill everyone”
we pledge allegiance to bullets and guns
we are the death pilots
we are the death pilots

the crowds made a strange hand noise
they’re heart worms withered in bile
the crowds made a strange hand noise
their prayers answered with gunshots
and the old man cranked the foul machine
as the sun blessed the deceivers
and the old man cranked the foul machine
as the son left the believers
