Please Say Gay
Please say gay
Please say queer
Please say trans
Please say non-binary
Don't shy away
Go look up everything you ever want
To know about
Don't let them put you down
Or shut you out
Please say gay
We need to see
Reality
For what it is
We can't defend
Denialism
And start to make
Amends
Let's talk about the days
When we fail
To live up to the goals
We set ourselves
Let's talk about the ways
That we profit
On the backs of
Those who we enslaved
They built this place
Say their names
We can't begin
To right the wrongs
Of the past
If we don't open up our eyes
We can't end
The wrongs that
Haunt our present
If we don't realize
We need to see
Reality
For what it is
We can't defend
Denialism
And start to make
Amends
It doesn't help us today
To pretend our
Problems don't exist
Or that our past was great
Let's be honest with ourselves
Or we'll have nothing else
Except arrogance and ignorance
And hate
Please say gay
Please say queer
Please say trans
Please say non-binary
Don't shy away
Go look up everything you ever want
To know about
Don't let them put you down
Or shut you out
Please say gay
We need to see
Reality
For what it is
We can't defend
Denialism
And start to make
Amends
Let's talk about the days
When we fail
To live up to the goals
We set ourselves
Let's talk about the ways
That we profit
On the backs of
Those who we enslaved
They built this place
Say their names
We can't begin
To right the wrongs
Of the past
If we don't open up our eyes
We can't end
The wrongs that
Haunt our present
If we don't realize
We need to see
Reality
For what it is
We can't defend
Denialism
And start to make
Amends
It doesn't help us today
To pretend our
Problems don't exist
Or that our past was great
Let's be honest with ourselves
Or we'll have nothing else
Except arrogance and ignorance
And hate
Please say gay
