Songs: Protest

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!
