Homophobia

(This is so very right on. Thank you, Chumbawamba.)

Up behind the bus stop in the toilets of the street
There are traces of a killing on the floor beneath your feet
Mixed in with the piss and beer are bloodstains on the floor
From the boy who got his head kicked in a night or two before

No! Homophobia--the worst disease
Love how you want to love and love who you please
No! Homophobia--the worst disease
Love how you want to love and love who you please

In the pubs and clubs and burger bars, breeding pens for pigs
Alcohol, testosterone, and ignorance and fists
Packs of hunting animals roam across the town
And they find an easy victim and they punch him to the ground

No! Homophobia--the worst disease
Love how you want to love and love who you please
No! Homophobia--the worst disease
Love how you want to love and love who you please

The siren of the ambulance, the deadpan of the cops
Chalk to mark the outline where the boy first dropped
Beware the holy trinity: church and state and law
For every death the virus gets more deadly than before

No! Homophobia--the worst disease
Love how you want to love and love who you please
No! Homophobia--the worst disease
Love how you want to love and love who you please
