Timbuk3 - Legalize our Love lyrics

Down at guilty party headquarters It's always guilty party time Where penance is the price of pa**ion And pa**ion is our only crime We must rise up from the darkness Steaming from these city streets Run-off swirling all around us Snaking its way down to the sea We'll stage a demonstration And call on every dove To pa** the legislation To legalize our love Legalize it Legalize our love Why must we shy from the camera Turn our heads and cover our eyes Why must we hide from our children As if they've all been deputized Calling all our fellow criminals The lovers who are still at large All our fellow s** offenders Let us stand and face the charge Stage a demonstration And call on every dove To pa** the legislation To legalize our love Legalize it Legalize our love They're so concerned That this love might infect us They're so concerned They want to protect us Standards of decency Condoms for H.I.V. But what will protect us From prejudice and bigotry Down at guilty party headquarters It's always guilty party time Down at guilty party headquarters Pa**ion is our only crime
