On H8
They keep trying to put us in chains
while behind pretty words and niceties.
Don't be surprised if they don't put all their lies
in a box for all to see.
After all image is the key!
It's like our lives, our love, are all just a game!
Well then, come on children, let's go out and play!
We have freedom to live
but we're about to lose it all again!
Don't misunderstand!
It's not like Mary Anne
and Jane can't have fun.
But God forbid they ever try
to show the world their in love.
It's a sin, and a tax break,
the world just can't afford!
Yet murderers and thieves
can marry as they please!
They will remember when
we go out there again
singing songs and chanting rhymes
about the good old times that never were
but will be made!
Once again they'll try
to stop us from fighting for the right!
Yet somehow our voices
can get so loud when
we're together on the streets.
Let's make it hard to pretend that
we're not here
and they're not full of hate!
And we all just want to sing
about how we all can get along,
but with freedom to live
we refuse to lose it all again!
Don't misunderstand!
It's not like Daniel
and Chris can't have fun.
But God forbid they ever try
to show the world their in love.
It's a sin, and a tax break,
the world just can't afford!
Yet murderers and thieves
can marry as they please!
You will remember when
we go out there again
singing songs and chanting rhymes
about the good old times that never were
but will be made!

Dear Saint Peter, and Patrick, and everyone else, too.
Listen to my tale of what we were put through.
See, my friend's got

Cooking Meth In The Whiskey Stills
The Bush is burning, burning down our lives
Soldiers are returning, dead to grieving wives
And
Your Apocalypse. (Protest.)
Chaos in the streets;
disorder inside
the family home
everyone lies and
cheats -
Children
War
Life is so precious
Every moment spent on this journey on the earth fill our heart
When I turn my eyes to watch those
