This Thing Known As Pride

It is a strange creature this thing known as pride From birth until death to the ego it is tied Proud of your children and proud of your wife And so very proud of your successful life Proud of your home and your new family car And so very proud of the person you are Proud of your Country and your Country's flag All of this to you is worth a good brag Proud of the fact yours is the one true god Those who believe different to you must be odd Proud of your job promotion of late So much in your life for you to celebrate And proud of the person you have turned out to be Though all in all you seem egotistical to me.
