by Fat + Frantic—another song with no lyrics on the internet.<\/p>\n
Words by Jim Harris<\/p>\n
Sung as angry and fast as possible to a 2\/4 beat accompanied by guitar and spoons.<\/p>\n
Be Proud you are English, boy, be proud you are white,
\nBe proud you’re a man, be proud that men are always right.
\nBe proud you are comfortable and smartly dressed and clean,
\nBe proud that you are all the things you’re ancestors have been.<\/p>\nOh boy, be proud that you are tolerant, be proud that you are nice,
\nBe proud you’re vaguely liberal, be proud you don’t think twice.
\nBe proud of your education, I am proud of mine,
\nBe proud that you have got a job and don’t stand on the line.<\/p>\nChorus: Oh boy, but I am proud of nothing when I see God’s children cry,
\nWhen I see God’s children hungry, when I see the cities die,
\nWhen I see God’s children told they are not God’s because they’re black,
\nPeople say “I love you, God,” and then “push off” behind his back.<\/p>\nBe proud of you’re arrogance, be proud of your spite,
\nBe proud of you’re brutality, be proud of well armed might.
\nBe proud of your hypocrisy, the things you never said,
\nBe proud that you are still alive when half the world is nearly dead.<\/p>\nChorus<\/p>\n
But I am proud of Jesus, I am proud that he loves me,
\nI am proud that Jesus lived and died to set the people free,
\nI am proud of Jesus’ passion, I am proud of Jesus’ rage,
\nI am proud that he is shouting at this evil, godless age.<\/p>\nI am proud when people fight for Jesus’ justice and shalom,
\nI am proud when people rise at the oppression of the bomb,
\nI am proud that in South Africa and in El Salvador,
\nJesus’ righteousness is frightening the oppressors more and more.<\/p>\nChorus<\/p>\n
But I am proud of Jesus, I am proud that he loves me,
\nI am proud that Jesus lived and died to set the people free,
\nI am proud that in South Africa and in El Salvador,
\nJesus’ righteousness is frightening the oppressors more and more.
\nMy Jesus’ righteousness is frightening the oppressors more and more. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Fat + Frantic—another song with no lyrics on the internet.
