"The Pride" is a song by American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch. It is the third track from their third album American Capitalist, the fifth single from the album, and is the fourteenth single overall from the band.[1]
The people, brands and organisations listed in the song all relate to capitalism or the culture of the United States. In an interview, guitarist Zoltan Bathory clarified the meaning of the song. "You can be a zebra or join the lion pride. You have to rebel against your circumstances, laziness, and mediocrity—not the system."[2]
The music video was uploaded to the band's Vevo channel on YouTube on October 8, 2012. The video features clips of the band backstage and performing the song live on the American Capitalist Tour.
