Salvation

Go ahead and tell them Look them in their bright young eyes Tell them they're going to hell For love If they want salvation They must go against their god-given nature They must repent and regret and repress They must reproduce Because love doesn't exist without it God forgive them if they're sterile God forgive the cervix cancer that takes her God forgive the dead seed that he sows Because their love will be forbidden Like it is for all the dastardly barren homosexuals What a joke What a horrible joke Oh yes It's a choice Love is a choice We choose to be hated, we choose to be hurt We choose to be thrown out on the street and kicked and shouted at and killed Go ahead and tell them you won't hate us But you'll look the other way when terrible things happen to us You'll offer us salvation If only we destroy ourselves
