Proud To Be Garbage – Blues Version

Proud To Be Garbage – Blues Version
(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 luxury
You can think you’re in the clear
Have pizza nights with all your friends
You can yell and call all us trash
And think you’ll crush our will to win…

[Chorus]
I’m proud to be garbage
I’m proud to be free
And millions of fighters
Are fighting with me
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 is standing for values
That you don’t call 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 end

[2nd Chorus]
And pieces of garbage
Are fighting with me
To stand for what’s righteous
For justice and peace
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 trust Christ the King
And know what is hidden
Will one day be seen
So, trust all us garbage
And trust Christ the King
And know what is hidden
Will one day be seen
