That's So Gay


Dead and destroyed

Ignored and toyed
Is the the legacy
We want the next generation to see
 
That's so gay
Like that's an excuse today
Ignorance is bliss?
Might as well be a death kiss
 
Gay kids take their own lives
Because your words are knives
Look a little deeper, under the skin
Maybe you can see the beauty within 
 
If only you'd draw less tears
More kids would see New Years
Stop calling that name
Stop drawing shame
 
Faggot, whore, slut
Sounds like you're stuck in a rut
Repeating messages of hate
Spreading loud and clear their fate
 
Maybe you'd like a turn in the flame
Finally take your share of blame
Break them down one more time 
They may have just enough left
For
       One
                More
                             Rhyme
