Proud To Be Human (feat. Brian Madigan) Video (MV)

A friend asked me recently: aren't you just proud to be from the UK?
I said to him: honestly, right now it's hard to see how that's OK
Look at our history, how were we proud to be traders of slaves?
Left nations in poverty, now send their progeny back 'cross the waves

Proud to be British? No I'm not
Proud to be British? Not a lot
Proud to be British? Don't get me fuming
Why can't we all just be proud to be human?

Power and property feed inequality here on our streets
Bought opportunity, blanket immunity, liars and cheats
Turn schools into factories, NHS on its knees, have we no shame?
Feed the economy, ignore ecology - not in my name!

Proud to be British? No I'm not
Proud to be British? Not a lot
Proud to be British? Don't get me fuming
Why can't we all just be proud to be human?

They say pride often precedes a stall - the higher, the harder you fall
Why not just be proud of you - who you are; all that you do?
Be proud of community, friendship and unity, culture and art
Be proud of democracy, banish hypocrisy, open your heart

Proud to be British? No I'm not
Proud to be British? Not a lot
Proud to be British? Don't get me fuming
Why can't we all just be proud to be human?
Why can't we all just be proud to be human?
Why can't we all just be proud to be human?
