You can not grasp the concepts I speak, I accept gay people for who they are, You hold on to your dreams and weep, Then shop the avenue with tacky stores, You are the one who breaks into song When there was a villain who died, You are always there ready to go to war, Blank faced death as you boldly stride, You were a pillow that I would lay my Head on, now I run from you for my life, You were a rainbow I had wished upon, Now there is nothing but shame all the time. *I was the one who had a childhood to explore and dream, Now if I am not eternally busy, work restless 8 hour days, I fall upon my sofa and knock out after I get home, Finally find a little time and space, there you are To tell me I'm nothing but a complete waste, For I'll never work out in this world until I have Lived up to becoming a slaved out tool for money's pay. Perhaps on the outside I seem like a disgrace, but in truth More like a dog who never learned the tricks of the trade.*

The American Nightmare
You can not grasp the concepts I speak, I accept gay people for who they are, You hold on to your dreams and weep, Then shop the avenue with tacky stores, You are the one who breaks into song When there was a villain who died, You are always there ready to go to war, Blank faced death as you boldly stride, You were a pillow that I would lay my Head on, now I run from you for my life, You were a rainbow I had wished upon, Now there is nothing but shame all the time. *I was the one who had a childhood to explore and dream, Now if I am not eternally busy, work restless 8 hour days, I fall upon my sofa and knock out after I get home, Finally find a little time and space, there you are To tell me I'm nothing but a complete waste, For I'll never work out in this world until I have Lived up to becoming a slaved out tool for money's pay. Perhaps on the outside I seem like a disgrace, but in truth More like a dog who never learned the tricks of the trade.*
