Don’t attack me
Because we disagree
I have the right
To be LGBT
Don’t attack me
And expect me to surrender
Due to my color
Or because my gender

Don’t attack me and think
I’ll turn the other cheek
I won’t be submissive
Nor will I be weak
What must I do
To make you understand
Don’t attack me
Cos you think you can

Don’t attack me
Like it’s open season
Without a rhyme
Or even a reason
Don’t attack me
Like a lamb to slaughter
Nor should you do it
Cos you think you oughta

Don’t attack me
Because it’s convenient
When you know that you
Should try to be lenient
Don’t attack me
Because you find it easy
It would be easier
If you tried to please me
