Pride is the Only Sin (fabric, dye)

notes:
We need to think were special
Decide were better
Need to be unique
Need to be a letter
We have to take a little extra
Wear the most glitter
A call to compassion
Just makes us bitted
Its at the root of everything we do
Pride is the only sin.
(We need to win the gold medal
Or participation ribbon
Anything that will declare
We deserve praise for what weve done
We celebrate skin color, hair color,
Clever meme
Tell ourselves division
Keeps us on the winning team
Its at the root of everything we do
Pride is the only sin.
We pretend to love others
To the best of our ability
But wed rather brandish signs
Than live lives of humility
We think partitioning
Fosters unity
We love our tribes
Only pretend we like community
Its at the root of everything we do
Pride is the only sin.
I hate waiting in line
I hate giving in to others
If youre not like me
I dont consider us brothers
I wear my guilt
Like an emblem on my chest
Im not a fraction better
For having confessed
At the root of all I do
Pride is the only sin.
