When venom spills and wounds the heart,
And malice glares in every start,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
A bitter sting, a bitter sting.
The white-skinned thief's defense I see,
The white-skinned thief's defense for me,
A bitter sting, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting.

Across the seas, the customs borrowed,
Across the seas, the customs borrowed,
Where men at home, the hearth they've followed,
While wives in labor, toil and roam.
Such earned ease, a bitter doom,
Such earned ease, a bitter doom,
A bitter doom, a bitter doom,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting.

Unemployment chokes the breath,
Inflation deals a bitter death,
Degrees of lore, a useless plea,
Degrees of lore, a useless plea,
This useless learning, bitter plea,
This useless learning, bitter plea,
A bitter plea, a bitter plea,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting.

A white-washed cap upon the head,
But darkness dwells where thoughts are bred,
They shame the land with daily lies,
They shame the land with daily lies,
The leaders' games, a bitter guise,
The leaders' games, a bitter guise,
A bitter guise, a bitter guise,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting.

In temples, mosques, and shrines they ignite,
In temples, mosques, and shrines they ignite,
Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, in endless fight,
With feuds of faith, a bitter plight,
With feuds of faith, a bitter plight,
A bitter plight, a bitter plight,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting,
My nation's flaws, a bitter sting.
