If I could be heterosexual
Maybe I would be
If I could really love a woman as my wife
It may suffice
So you’d rather me purport to love someone that I don’t
Just so that I could live a life telling a great big lie
There is one thing I can’t deny
I’m gay
But my love for a man is deemed impure
And all of you are sure that I’m only lusting
After him
Only wanting to score
I’m supposed to be an asexual nutcase
Only fit to better your lives
I’m just the gay decoration
The happy second class
I can plan your wedding but for me I’m out on my ass
I have to pretend at the job
To love Barbie not Bob
And be portrayed as a slob for wanting protection
I’m a bad influence but
I don’t have to wear a shirt saying
“Nothing Straight Allowed”
Just rolling under dirt
I don’t have the chance to have a happy home
So I’d much rather get stoned
And use the man’s happy drug
To pawn my life away

Today I went to see my partner
In the ward, but according to the ethics board
I don’t have the right
To hold him in the room
and tell him he’ll be alright

I’m so good
But after 40 years I’m still not good enough
To have all your human benefits and legal stuff
Because I’m the animal that seeks to destroy your bliss
And pollute your happiness
With my perversion, my agenda, my life
That you say doesn’t exist
And yet in your heart , you know it persists
To be

But I won’t go anywhere because I want you to stare
At the truth you can’t accept
The children you neglect
The deaths you spearhead all in the name of a Loving God
Despite all the horror
I came from “normal” sex
So why am not “normal” like you?
I think I am
You need to get over your shame
And see
That we aren’t all that different you and me

I hope you wake up from conservative slumber
After all this time, I don’t know what you’re saving
But I’m a man that is
Stark raving
MAD!

At this bad karma and believe me
I won’t repress fighting for my
Right to have success
And if I’m guilty of anything
It’s the same as you
Of course that’s your version of equal
If I could be a heterosexual
