Everybody knows,
I can see it in their eyes,
Everybody knows,
All the girls and all the Guys,
Everybody knows,
So Everybody stares,
Everybody knows,
And Everybody cares.
They slash me with their tongues,
They shoot me with their words,
The air escapes my lungs,
Like thousands of stray birds.
Everybody knows,
And Everybody cares.
They corner me with hits and blows,
It's time to say my prayers.
I'm sorry, my dear Father,
I wish I could be normal,
I don't want to be a bother,
Amongst the others so immoral.
They're coming now, I can see them,
I try to get away,
I hear them chant the ancient hymn,
"****, ******, Gay."
They slash me with their tongues,
They shoot me with their words,
But I rise up with my Loved ones,
And push them back in herds.
They hiss they yell their horrid jeers,
They know that now they're done,
They hear only triumphant cheers,
A boy who through his Love has won.
