happy pride

I do it 'cause of Marsha
I do it 'cause of Sylvia
I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for either of 'em
Let me just say this as a reminder
First pride was a riot
Led by the same people that you criminalize
The same people that you victimize

But
Happy Pride or whatever
I guess let's all come together
Let's go buy rainbow t-shirts and Mickey Mouse ears
Actually I could do with it and
The funerals and tears
I could without the average of 35 years but
Happy Pride or whatever
I guess let's all come together
Let's go buy rainbow t-shirts and Mickey Mouse ears
Actually I could do with it and

This is for the allies
And community members alike
Rather than support corporations that capitalize
Off the suffering and the struggle
Why not support mutual aids and collectives that
Really do need it but I don't know
Maybe that's too much so
Let's watch
Corporations increase their profits
Trans people suffer more losses
LGB folks
I got a question and it's real simple
What are y'all doing it to stop it

For your gay brothers and your gay sisters
In jail
That write me
Every mother fucking week
And ask for your help
And you all don't do a God damn thing for them
Have you ever been beaten up, and raped, and jailed
Now think about it

But
Happy Pride or whatever
I guess let's all come together
Let's go buy rainbow t-shirts and Mickey Mouse ears
Actually I could do with it and
The funerals and tears
I could without the average of 35 years but
Happy Pride or whatever

Do you do anything for them
No
You all tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs
I will no longer put up with this shit
I have been beaten, I have had my nose broken, I have been thrown in jail
I have lost my job, I have lost my apartment, for gay liberation
And you all treat me this way
What the fuck's wrong with you all
Think about that
