lyrics

COME OUT! COME OUT!


I would turn myself in
If I thought that it meant
I could end inequity

Like your boy coming home
Black and blue
With what will be permanent damage
On his body
Not to mention his pride
Not to mention:
He will change the way he walks at night
He will change the way he talks outside

Who do you think you are
It is not your decision to make
What if it was the other way
What if how you were born
Who you chose to love
Was not allowed
Not "right"
Not smiled upon
Not talked about

You cannot decide my rights
You do not have the right
You do not have power over me!
Goblin king! No!

The time to change is now
The time is now so come out! Come out!
