Gay For Pay

Can't believe this has to be said
Conjuring a feeling much akin to dread
My gender dragged before the crowd
Foes once friends screaming loud
And they deny my gender
Face painted queer pretender
Performing for a false charade
He's not queer, he's gay for pay

Ugly words
From the jaws of dogs
Vile words
From the maws of dogs
Homophobia
Hidden in your pretence
Lies from liars
Hate in every sentence

How dare you
Try to take a piece of my soul
How dare you
Focus on the parts not the whole
You the few
Won't shatter the joy in my heart
How dare you
Hands off, you can't take me apart

I believe this has to be done
Standing proud against the mob as one
Say what you will about the path I took
Misgendering an enemy is a bad fucking look
And to deny one is to deny all
One by one queer voices fall
I won't live knee deep in piss
Queer people silent replaced by cis

Ugly words
From the jaws of dogs
Vile words
From the maws of dogs
Homophobia
Hidden in your pretence
Lies from liars
Hate in every sentence

How dare you
Try to take a piece of my soul
How dare you
Focus on the parts not the whole
You the few
Won't shatter the joy in my heart
How dare you
Hands off, you can't take me apart
