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
