Silent Disco

You hear them everyday as you're walking by
They whisper in each other's ear
All you hear them say is gossip and lies
It's nothing that you'd like to hear

I heard them calling me all those nasty names
Cocksucker, faggot, queer
Humiliation is their favorite game
They hate the fact that I am here

But I kicked down the closet door
And I'm not going in anymore
I knew I had to be free
It's the only way to be

I don't wanna be like those boys
Who act like they have no other choice
And I don't wanna be like those girls
Who imitate the rest of the world
I know that I gotta stay true
While we're dancing to the silent disco
Silent disco groove

They say I am a part of a holy war
They crucified me on their cross
They say I am a junkie and a whore
For not aligning to their cause

There are so many things that you hear them say
Repeating what they've once been told
I've waited all my life to this very day
To hear something new and bold

Their words used to bring me down
But I was lost and now I'm found
Like a Phoenix with no shame
From the ashes to the flame

I don't wanna be like those boys
Who act like they have no other choice
And I don't wanna be like those girls
Who imitate the rest of the world
I know that I gotta stay true
While we're dancing to the silent disco
Silent disco groove

Hear them whisper through the walls
Blurting shit out on a microphone
But they're saying nothing, nothing at all
Gonna show you what to do
Gonna give you a tip or two
To this beat you've got to move, got to move, got to move

Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing all

They think that they can bring you down
But gurl you gotta work your crown
No one can tell you what to do
Don't let nobody get to you
Whether in sport shoes or in pumps
You gotta listen to that thump
'Cause they can say that you're a flop
Listen, baby, don't you stop
Guy or girl or in between
Words can never cut your wings
'Cause, baby, they can talk the talk
But some of us can walk the walk
Say "Bitch, you ain't seen nothin' yet,
Bitch, you've got a lot to learn"
Silent boys and silent girls
Speak up let your voice be heard!

I don't wanna be like those boys
Who act like they have no other choice
And I don't wanna be like those girls
Who imitate the rest of the world
I know that I gotta stay true
While we're dancing to the silent disco
Silent disco
Silent disco
Silent disco groove
