Tom Springer - My Manifesto lyrics

I tried religion I got down on my knees and prayed for moral certainty Amid the superstitions And stained glass saints I felt a heart of authenticity There at the altar of the church I heard the urgent call to merge With a holy divinity Copy paste an identity From the Bible in the pew I tried the military I heard the trumpet's call to make heroic history Amid bureaucracy And scrambled eggs I felt an arc of electricity There at the front rank of the corps I hеard the urgent call to mergе With a martial authority Copy paste an identity From manuals at the motor pool I choose to write my own code I choose to ride my own road I choose to pack my own load This is my manifesto I choose to write my own code I choose to ride my own road I choose to pack my own load This is my manifesto I tried a party I went from door to door to spread its ideology Amid the sanctimony And waving flags I felt a spark of unanimity There at the vanguard of the march I heard the urgent call to merge With a moral philosophy Copy paste an identity From the textbooks back at school I choose to write my own code I choose to ride my own road I choose to pack my own load This is my manifesto I choose to write my own code I choose to ride my own road I choose to pack my own load This is my manifesto I choose to write my own code I choose to ride my own road I choose to pack my own load This is my manifesto I choose to write my own code I choose to ride my own road I choose to pack my own load This is my manifesto This is my manifesto This is my manifesto This is my manifesto This is my manifesto
