They step alongside of the street
Hand in hand, strolling feet
They seem to be happy and satisfied with their life
Even when society tries to cut them apart by knife
They have did nothing to offend you
People are people, who are you, to boo
They have an upbeat, healthy lifestyle
They always manage to keep a smile
But when a community frowns
Whenever they expose themselves in their towns
Well, this makes me most upset
And they feel the same way, I bet
So if you are unable to handle having different people around
Maybe you should take your illness of homophobia out of town.
