Your Country is Shit
Defiance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How the fuck can you have pride in a country
How empty,ignorant and blind do you gotta be
When you fly your filthy fucking flag
Your saluting n empty,wortless,useless farce

Your saluting racism
From the day the country started
It's been a part of it
And your saluting your own oppressor
And if your that fucking stupid
You deserve everything you get

Your country is shit
Your country is total shit and you're fat
With pride as you as you swallow every bit of it

I hope you go first in a war you've pay for
And I hope you still love your country when
Your riddled with bullets in foreign country
Showered with bombs and left for dead
So fly their flag
And keep swallowing their shit
I'll never be proud or be supporting it
And I hope one day you all get your chain
As you die for freedom
The power is still in their hands

Your country is shit
And you're all fucking shit if your
Ignorant enough to believe it and support it

I hope you go first in a war you pay for
And think your protecting freedom when
You're killing innocent women and children
Preserving capitalism
For the ones that stay in power
Preserving your right to pay taxes
Dying for the right to be kept in line
I hope that one day you all get your chance




As your dying for freedom
The power is still in their hands

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Defiance's song Your Country is Shit are a direct attack on nationalism and blind patriotism. The band asserts that having pride in one's country is an empty, ignorant, and blind act, especially when that country has a history of racism and oppression. The band accuses those who salute the flag of supporting and reinforcing these oppressive systems. The line "your saluting your own oppressor" highlights the irony of saluting a symbol of one's own oppression.


The song also criticizes the idea of going to war for one's country, as the band believes that wars are often fought for capitalist interests and result in the deaths of innocent women and children. The line "I hope you go first in a war you pay for" is a direct critique of those who support war but are not willing to fight in it themselves.


Lastly, the band suggests that those who blindly support their country will eventually face the consequences of their actions. The line "I hope one day you all get your chance as your dying for freedom, the power is still in their hands" suggests that those who fight for freedom will ultimately be serving the interests of the powerful elite.
