Protest The Hero - Fear And Loathing In Laramie lyrics

Compassion is shit
Soft-spoken words and a look of concern
The fire is lit
Emotion will never extinguish (extinguish)
These flames that inaction has built
What makes it burn?
A nation so straight that deviation's a crime
When will we learn that sexuality
Is not a punishable offense?
On a cold October night
A gentle soul was crucified and
What remains of his blood
Still stains our idle hands that
Soft-spoken words won't justif
(Culprit's are we)

Let's talk about rights
Let's talk about sexual orientation
Let's talk about you and
An entire homophobic nation
Will you follow me down?
Can we not separate ourselves from such hate?
Let's sever the head of the
Beast with the crown
Let's no longer participate
Let's talk about rights
Let's talk about sexual orientation
Let's talk about you and
An entire homophobic nation
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
Will you follow me down?
(Why won't anyone stand up?)
