Pledge Lyrics

(1)

It's your mind
In the time of
In the time of disease,
Time of disease (2)
All in
Pledge around
Pledge spend
Go see Josie White
And the fabric wants a paper borrow money
And then Pledge

And then the workers have to pay for money
She says "Pledge! Pledge!"
And the workers ask Nellie for money
She says "And, Pledge! Pledge! Pledge!"
When workers went to Nellie for money
She said "And, Pledge!"

And when they were children, and
Pledge! Pledge!

When I go to TV for money
It says "No dough! Pledge!"
Bono Pledge! (3)

When the workers went to Nellie for money
They said "Pledge!"
They says "We Pledge!"
You don't see money!
Pledge!
When I went to go to Nellie for money
They said "Two Oh One Oh Pledge!"
Pledge...

When they ask for creative money
They says "Two Ten Pledge! Pledge!"
Went to get money for band,
They said "Two Ten Pledge!"
They said "Two Ten Pledge!"

When I went to TV for money they said
"No dough! Pledge! No!
Give that Bono Pledge!"
Pledge! Pledge...
It said two oh one oh...
When I went to go to work for money
They said "Got no Pledge! Got no Pledge!"

Go back! Go back!
Went to get money
Guh, no they says...
Notes

1. Take these with a grain of salt.

Reformation reports that Daren Garratt says the song was written in the dressing room minutes before its debut performance on May 15, 2014 at Manchester Cathedral.

MES seems to have encountered the dreaded "pledge" when he contributed to Mutation, a kind of metal/grindcore supergroup album with members of Napalm Death, Hawkeyes, Cardiacs and Young Legionnaire. The album was apparently funded via pledge...

2. One also finds the lyric "Time of disease" in "Stout Man."

3. I'm not sure if there's a "Bono" in here but others have said they hear it. In any case it is p***ounced with the "o" as in "Sonny Bono."
