Proud

People round me

got a strong feelin'

my habits ain't good

guess I'm losin'

some good ol' respect

in this neighbourhood

Give me a break

stop complaining so loud

as long as you don't know

what y'r talkin' about

Won't be long

before y'r gonna find out

y'r local misfit's gonna be

a national breakout

Gonna prove y'r smalltown

judgement wrong

Gonna do a lil' thing

to make you feel

PROUD

PROUD

Take life by the neck

& I won't let go

entertain this mob

like fightin' a bull in a rodeo

I don't wanna be poor

I gotta have a job

But not like everybody else

on the block

Take you by surprise

stop complaining so loud

Gonna do a lil' thing

to make you feel

PROUD

PROUD

Just in time rock turns out to be a way to prove y'r not just a too far gone disconnected dopey nitwit makin' nowhere plans in the basement instead of ... uh.
