Fat And Frantic - Proud lyrics

Be proud you are English, boy, be proud you are white Be proud you're a man, be proud that men are always right Be proud you are comfortable and smartly dressed and clean Be proud that you are all the things you're ancestors have been Oh boy, be proud that you are tolerant, be proud that you are nice Be proud you're vaguely liberal, be proud you don't think twice Be proud of your education, I am proud of mine Be proud that you have got a job and don't stand on the line Oh boy, but I am proud of nothing when I see God's children cry When I see God's children hungry, when I see the cities die When I see God's children told they are not God's because they're black People say “I love you, God,” and then push off behind his back Be proud of your arrogance, be proud of your spite Be proud of your brutality, be proud of well armed might Be proud of your hypocrisy, the things you never said Be proud that you are still alive when half the world is nearly dead Oh boy, but I am proud of nothing when I see God's children cry When I see God's children hungry, when I see the cities die When I see God's children told they are not God's because they're black People say “I love you, God,” and then push off behind his back But I am proud of Jesus, I am proud that he loves me I am proud that Jesus lived and died to set the people free I am proud of Jesus' pa**ion, I am proud of Jesus' rage I am proud that he is shouting at this evil, godless age I am proud when people fight for Jesus' justice and shalom I am proud when people rise at the oppression of the bomb I am proud that in South Africa and in El Salvador Jesus' righteousness is frightening the oppressors more and more Oh boy, but I am proud of nothing when I see God's children cry When I see God's children hungry, when I see the cities die When I see God's children told they are not God's because they're black People say “I love you, God,” and then push off behind his back But I am proud of Jesus, I am proud that he loves me I am proud that Jesus lived and died to set the people free I am proud that in South Africa and in El Salvador Jesus' righteousness is frightening the oppressors more and more My Jesus' righteousness is frightening the oppressors more and more
