[Verse]
F C Bb F Bb
My twenty-fourth birthday, the day I was inscribed
F C Bb F C F
With the sacred emblem I will wear until I die
C Bb F Bb
My twenty-fourth birthday, I made my solemn vow
F C Bb F C F
Praying, "may I never know more than I know now"
[Verse]
Bb F Bb F
My right arm, I dedicated to that noble cause
C F Bb F C
To dismantle authority and nullify all laws
Bb F Bb F
And construct in their vacancy a kinder, juster world
C F Bb C F
One human race united beneath the black flag unfurled
[Verse]
Dm C F Bb F
The piercing of the needle as tainted blood runs clean
Bb F C
The shattering of shackles hithertofore unseen
Dm C F Bb F
The thrill of knowing purpose, of wondering no more
Bb F C F
The journey laid before me at only twenty-four
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F
Right arm, do no evil - right arm, please be true
Bb F C F
Right arm, swing for righteousness - you wear a Crass tattoo
Bb F C F
Right arm, swing for righteousness - you wear a Crass tattoo
[Outro]
