Proud To Be Garbage

Proud To Be Garbage
(Jacob R. McGowen)


[1st Verse]
You can slander, You can mock

But you’re not gonna bother me

From inside your fancy home

You sure love your tyranny

You can think you’re in the clear
Have pizza nights with all your friends
You can yell and call all of us trash
And think you’ll crush my will to win



[Chorus]

I’m proud to be garbage

I’m proud to be free

And millions of fighters 

Are fighting with me 



[2nd Verse]

You think that trash means standing for

Values contrary to your own

Like loving God, life, and liberty

And faith that upholds a home

You love to rule with an iron fist

And to revel in sordid sins

While all the garbage you despise
Prays for your time to soon end


[2nd Chorus]

And pieces of garbage
Are fighting with me

To stand for what’s righteous
For justice and peace

[Bridge]
And you may have friends in high-places
And think that you will never pay
But you should know that King Jesus
Knows all that you do and you say
Knows all that you do and you say

[Outro]
So, trust all us garbage
And even more, fear the King 

Know that which is hidden
Will one day soon be seen
Yeah…
