Lyrics Anthem - Arrowhead

Anthem

We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re goddamned pissed!
We’re here to stay so get used to it
You’ve got a problem?
We’ve got a whole list!
So take a seat, because this might take a bit
You’ve beaten us down for the last time
Take our fury as a sign
Of the end of the road for your bigotry and hate
We’re gonna burn down the world you helped create
It’s not all misery being queer
Look at us, we’re still here
But for those not so lucky, we’ll raise the flag
There’ll be no more queers in body bags!
We’re everywhere, right under your nose
But you deny that to yourself and god, it shows
In the building sites and the school house halls
We won’t stop til the last bigot falls!
All day, every day, all around the world
Thousands of boys, thousands of girls
Fighting every day for the right to exist
But I might lose the fight if I don’t insist!
It’s not all misery being queer
Look at you, you’re still here
Don’t let them get inside your head
You’re better off alive than you are being dead!
They think we’re small, they think that we’re weak
They think it’s an insult when they call us freaks
But their time will pass, and their ideals will die
And in the aftermath, a just world will rise!
In a sea of ones and zeros, I appear to be a two
But that doesn’t mean I am any lesser than you
We’ll never back down, our motives are explicit
We will never apologise for offending a bigot!
Our right to exist is not up for debate
We will always choose love in the face of your hate
We’re not hurting anyone, and I hate to be blunt
But do you have to be such a C-U-N-T?
Gender is a social construct!
We’re angry and we’re proud, I’ll tell you that for free
Right now, I think we’re allowed to be
When the world doesn’t want to let us be seen
Please stay beautiful, stay unique!
It’s not all misery being queer
We’ve got a strong community here
So, come on my friends, let’s have some fun
And raise a glass to all the great things we’ve done!
Here right now, here we say
We will not be erased!
NB, trans, bi and gay
We will not be erased!
