people are afraid
homophobic and in the closet
still after all the years of educating
i have returned to this place
of ignorance and mighty mighty jesus
lord is king bible belt bliss
she is still afraid
hiding in her closet
behind words that represent
heteroism but in the form of suggestion
i'm not that way must be where she was raised
some corn field middle of america
but she's been in LA for 10 years, i scream
at the top of my best party dress with lipstick
smeared on my white pleather belt thick chains
meant to represent that i despse development
i'm anti-system, even still at this age
wondering, how can i get them to change their views
but haven't they given in
gone to Target and Starbucks, all in one day
it's cheaper that way to support the masses
when the middle class is as broke as ever
and the farms are no longer a commune of freedom
where can we go?
excited and sad hiding out in the dark
your silence still equals death
20 years running
and i've been open and out for 18 years now
letting people know
their rules can't confine me
to my family's dismay
it's not fair to be this alone
but it's brave
'cuz people are afraid
