The world keeps turning and I keep fighting
´cause what else are you to do?
When there´s a fascist telling you,
"It´s time you were put in your place!"
As he salutes the Stars and Stripes
By raising fists and starting fights,
Like an aberration from Hitler´s Nazi Riech
NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I´m fucking proud of who I am!
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Everyone keeps asking,
"Why´s he so pissed and so angry?"
When there´s killing in this world,
of men and womyn, boys and girls
For the sake of a dividend gain
These actions proclaimed in our name,
turn Stars and Stripes to shades of shame
"Gifts from America: With Love, The U.S.A"
NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I´m fucking proud of who I am... I AM HUMAN!
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?
This country´s flag flies as a corporate symbol
This country´s flag strikes hearts with fear-COLD FEAR!
This country´s flag represents oil interests
The president wages an endless war so he can,
Justify stealing fucking billions
Steal the public´s rights through the use of fear, use of fear...
That is a system I can not endorse
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?
Look for the truth you´ll see...
MADISON AND JEFFERSON
ARE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES!
´cause what else are you to do?
When there´s a fascist telling you,
"It´s time you were put in your place!"
As he salutes the Stars and Stripes
By raising fists and starting fights,
Like an aberration from Hitler´s Nazi Riech
NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I´m fucking proud of who I am!
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Everyone keeps asking,
"Why´s he so pissed and so angry?"
When there´s killing in this world,
