queer nation(not what you think)

by Antwan Fields - Aries

A-M-E-R-I-C-A.
place where child abusers are castrated
and my sexuality is questioned
why i see a guy
and get an erectioni don't know, i realize that you don't recognize "gay power," but now you have no choice
beautiful world, great country, southern plantation
has given way to a nice queer nation
the closet doesn't feel good, time to come out
and i do, with an unfeminine shout
time to wake the fuck up and realize
that just a few years ago under different skies
that life is a game that money can't buy
but gay people are in and you still can get high
"oh, that's so gay" is that an insult to one
who believes that not coming out isnt a ton 
of weight to pull off one's shoulders
and when you yell out faggot, do you realize
reality just passed your dumbasses by
because youre not smart enough its time to give in
i'm not trying to Convert you, but you must see then
that all your slurs grow old and tired
i can see the rut in which you are mired
so give up, get real and find a location
to sit there and watch the dawn of the queer nation.
and this new country, what's our name??
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
the same.
