(verse 1 - Jigglz)
Let me be clear, the message won't be subliminal
Love is not a crime, queer is not criminal
Why should folk hide, waiting for life to start?
Who cares what's in your pants? What matters is your heart
They can ban the books and ban the drag shows
They won't steal our future, it's not their door to close
Hatred is weak, the worst character flaw
"Don't Say Gay" is a joke, dumbest thing I ever saw
(verse 2 - xMINUSx)
You point your finger
Fire blame like bullets, blasting indiscriminately
You cast shame, cuz you don’t understand,
You just can’t face your own insecurities
You’re worried about the moral fabric, it’s tragic,
But truly, it’s you that’s becoming unraveled
This road is well-worn, far from the least traveled
You try to pass judgment, who’s holding the gavel?
Yeah, who’s holding the cards? Read em and weep
We’re living the dream, while you’re still asleep
You don’t tend the flock, you’re just a sheep
You’re digging a hole, that’s way too deep
You’re climbing a hill that’s just too steep
You’ll never see the light - You sew, you reap
You act righteous, but you’re just a creep
Ask God to save us, while Jesus weeps
(chorus - Jigglz, xMINUSx, Schmeev)
Nobody is free until we are all free
Why can't they just let folk be?
(verse 3 - Jake)
You can be he/him, she/her or they/them
The pronouns aren’t a real problem
We raise our voices high, singing with Pride
Movements come and go but the spirit never died
(Show respect)
I’ll fight for you my brothers, sisters and others
Support you like fathers, love you like mothers
My people want to love, they want to live
Respect and compassion is all you need to give
(Show respect)
(verse 4 - xMINUSx)
The real question is, who really fucking cares,
If the way I look makes people stare?
And if Adam and Steve make a perfect pair?
Or if your son wants to grow out his hair...
And wear a dress, and change his name..
Would you love her any less, would you be ashamed?
Would you deny her right to be happy?
Death grip on archaic morality
Fake rules dreamed up, divine inspired
To keep you in line, but they’re just liars
Preached loud, fists pound, brimstone and fire
The fear keeps you here, don’t be an outlier
Ancient values no longer apply
The world has changed, so maybe try
to understand, and let it die
we’re just regular folk, you and I
(chorus - Jigglz, xMINUSx, Schmeev)
Nobody is free until we are all free
Why can't they just let folk be?
(bridge - Schmeev, Jigglz)
A new generation, same old fight
A new generation, same dark plight
Just let folk be
Forget the past, and do what's right
It's always darkest before the light
Just let folk be
A new generation, same old fight
A new generation, same dark plight
Just let folk be
Forget the past, and do what's right
It's always darkest before the light
Just let folk be
(chorus - Jigglz, xMINUSx, Schmeev)
Nobody is free until we are all free
Nobody is safe until we are all safe
Nobody is free until we are all free
Why can't they just let folk be?

This band is friggin' bonkers. It's like a synth heavy At The Drive In with a saxophone. I can't describe it, but it makes my soul happy.
