lyrics

We're proud to be held for ransom and forced to walk off the plank
We're proud to breathe dirty air as long as there's gas in the tank
Thank God for the flag and the one true religion

We're proud to be the property of multinationals
We're proud that poison water is what's keeping our glasses full
Only traitors make up the opposition
So maybe you should bite your tongue

We're proud that we can't afford to be in bad health
We're proud that debt is now our definition of wealth
While the President's men are cashing in their options

We're proud that our kids can't locate shit from Shanghai
We're proud that all our bucks go to a defense that only works in sci-fi
Only traitors make up the opposition
So maybe you should bite your tongue
So maybe you should bite your tongue

I'm not going to bite my tongue
