More Pride Lyrics

You heard a song on the internet

It reminded you of how you're not done yet

A telegram out of Germany

It's an ugly world but doesn't have to be

A language you only sometimes hear

On a night like this it's sounding bright and clear

The task you've always had inside

And you cover it up but you should have more pride

The attitude of an angry song

Doesn't seem so right but who can say it's wrong

The airing of your aims and ills

Just a cheap replacement for the real deal pills

A beacon draws out a few undead

Well, to paraphrase what the shrink once said

You're story is that at least you tried

But there's something else and you should have more pride

So you made somebody smile once

You made somebody's night

And you advocated violence

You were all part of a fight

Then you self-imposed a silence

Gave up and just dropped out

But it doesn't need to always be

The thing that you're about

So you heard a song on the internet

And it lit the path towards a future set

The lanterns brightened up your face

Don't you look much better when you're bathed in grace

You've got much more that you can give

And besides it beats the alternative

When the tendencies of fear subside

You'll be on your way and you should feel more pride

Now that righteousness and hate have died

You are filled with love and you should feel more pride
