Текст песни Queer Kid - Derek Webb

Growing up she heard about the end times
But they never felt so close
If showing love could make you a criminal
And wearing your own clothes

She got up, went to school
As if it wasn't burning down
She looked at her friend, said with a smirk
I guess we're illegal now

What was it about her heart that scared those men so much

Queer kid, where you gonna live now
Good kid, always getting kicked out
Of every place you're not safe
To be just who you are

Coming up she knew about the balance
That it was hard to get it right
A kind defense or a patient fist
And safety in the fight

But overnight the whole world was changing
Just like a tape stuck in reverse
But if you have a good heart and a little mascara
You can push back on the curse

So with her girlfriend on her arm she marched into the light

Queer kid, where you gonna live now
Good kid, always getting kicked out
Of every place you're not safe
To be just who you are

Brave kid, only you define you
But hey kid, we're right behind you
So make your way, say your name
And show em who you are

Even the President's treating you like a bad step-dad
Thinking everything that makes you different makes him look bad
And maybe there's a law, squeeze you so tight
Make you hate your body, give up the fight, and just die
Why don't they call it what it is
Wholesale gendercide aimed right at the kids
While their own holy book says love your enemies
And all the little children, let them come unto me
Meanwhile they're so busy changing all the rules
Building up the kingdom using all the devil's tools
They forgot the way history'll show just what they did
By then they'll be green grass growing on the grave of that queer kid

Queer kid, where you gonna live now
Good kid, always getting kicked out
