What Are You Teaching?
Texas History Class in seventh grade
blonde-haired blue-eyed coach is our teacher, hooray
but what happens when he starts to talk about gays?
to say that my cousin "Won't turn out right"
because he has two mommys
that's just not alright
to go on and on about how it's a sin
while staring in the eyes of my lesbian friends
What's wrong with you sir?
What are you teaching?
Is this Texas History, or are we preaching?
Tell me of Santa ana and the Alamo
but talk down on my family,and I'll walk out the door
straight down to the office of the gay principal
not many will listen but I will be heard and seen
and next week you will say that you are packing your things
bye bye you dicriminating, conservative prick
I hope your son's gay, wouldn't that be a trip
