Eric Himan - Protest Song lyrics

"they've come to tell me that hell is at my door How nice of them to want me a whole lot time before I've got the rest of my life til judgment day is due I'm stuck at the time I bet you got better things to do I was not raised the way you were And yes I'm glad I was born this way Get outta my face deal with it like I have Deal with it like I have I am not a soldier I am just an average man Living out my life the best way that I can I'm not reporting for duty I'm not recruiting myself Joining forces that don't want me Unless they need my help yea unless they need my help yea General I am quit capable my strength is my proof Are you afraid I'll try to sleep every soldier in my troop Are you afraid I'll be the hero that you are looking for And you'd have to thank my f*ggot a** For winning you your f**ing war I was not a raised the way you were And yes I'm glad I was born this way get outta my face And deal with it like I have yea They say family values are under attack and I agree every time I see a gay kid kicked out on his back How can parents be so cruel throw you out with no remorse If that was me I say if that was me I'd say I was not raised the way you were and yes I'm glad I was born this way sorry I'm gay Deal with it like I have deal with it like I like I have"
