Summon my pride ? What ? Pride behind your blinkered eyes ? Your vigilance is shit. " The lads together " - You`ll fall !
Smug complacency, notions of reserving the right to think with your fists, I abstain from this mundane apathy.
Committed to " All for red, white and blue ", in effect you`re fighting for what`s really fighting you.
" Grit those teeth, put out those chests ". Tears only for the flag. Always the brave patriot as you slip to second class.
But you stand steadfast ?
People are not subjects, why should the few get more respect ? Open your eyes !
Imperialism feeds off you, not patrons but patronised. Open your eyes !
They`re shaping you, you`re trapped with " pomp and circumstance ", lose your discretion. Soon, you`ll not fall from grace, endorse their rhetoric, you fade, they prosper.
I abstain ! Don`t be colonial slave. Don`t substantiate the act.
