Lyrics Gay Lib - George Carlin

Gay lib
Now interestingly, here is a attempt by a put down and kind of like persecuted minority
To insist on their place rightfully and their treatment rightfully
Without it having to do with anything ethnic or religion or anything
It's really an exciting separate part of liberation

Now I have always wondered
Well, now we've all thought about homosexual, heterosexual
We've always wondered
First of all, sometimes we if we're younger, we react to that in a way that we've been schooled
Then you kind of get your chops and you get things, okay
You understand that it's alright to be able to talk about that
And oh, well, I was just-
You know

Then, well, here's, here's what I mean
The word "homosexual", many people who are not in the position to have to decide this
They wonder about it, "Is it, is homosexual, is it normal, is it natural?"
I ask you, is it normal and natural? Or is it unnatural and abnormal?
Now those two words seem to revolve around it
Now let's look at those words for what they are

Natural, hey, means "according to nature"
Is it according to nature? Well, probably not in the strictest sense
Because nature didn't presuppose it
Nature only gave us one set of sexual apparatus
Girls get something for the guys, guys get something for the girls

As it is now, a homosexual is forced to share the apparatus
That the opposite sex is using on this person
Certainly, if nature were in command, there'd be two sets of goodies
So nature was not ready, we've leaped past nature again
In our sociological development, way down the road ahead of nature
Is it normal? Normal? Well, what's normal?

Let's see, if you're standing in a room, stripped, and it's dark
And you're hugging a person, and loving them, and rubbing them up and down
And they're rubbing you, and you're rubbing them, and they're rubbing you
And suddenly the light goes on, and it's the same sex
You've been trained to go, "Ah!"
But it felt okay
So maybe it was normal without being natural
