[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
