You don't have to say any of it if you don't want to. I went to school with a Jehovah's Witness who was not allowed to "swear an oath" and sat down during the pledge.
And vacate, very few of us do this into adulthood. I don't actually remember doing it in high school.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Don't get me started on the national anthem.
