True Believer

about

inspired by the lavender scare of the 1940s-50s, the story of madeleine tress, dead gay ppl & the hostile world we inherited

lyrics

(Ooh, that song is gay!)

Woke up brushed my teeth again and listened to the police siren singing
Talk a lot, don't talk too much, did you hear? Our soldiers can't stop winning
Stare at the moon, feel okay, if they ask at work say that we've never met
Tuck your hair behind your ear, act real cool like I know, I know
Things are gonna be okay
Won't they?
Why wouldn't they?

And I can't see
What people like me
Have to do with
All this shit you're on
Tongues and blunders, I can't
Fight outnumbered, I can't
See past my T.V.
And you can't either

Walk around my neighborhood, don't step outside at all, who am I kidding?
Sing real loud (can you hear me now?), don't answer that, you're getting what you're getting
Feel kind of blue, that's okay, life's only as fucked up as it's always been
Watch more cartoons drink more beer, act a fool cause I know, I know
Nothing's gonna get in my way, no way
No yesterdays

And I can't see
What people like me
Have to do with
All this shit you're on
Tongues and blunders, I can't
Fight outnumbered, I can't
See past my T.V.
And you can't either

And I can't see
What people like me
Have to do with
Anything at all
Guns and thunder, I don't
Think, don't wonder, I just
Smile vacantly
A true believer
