Lavendario
Lyrics
1950s
McCarthy and Roy
They set out on a crusade to destroy
What they saw with communist, wrong
Was the same for the queers lifelong
Red makes purple with the color of blue
To Americans of all an unnatural hue
1953
("No queers in our government")
10450
(no jobs, no homes)
No queers in our government written in text
Thrown out in the streets and asked, "Who's next?"
Outcasts, uncared for
Kicked from family's door
And the hate goes on
There's no evidence
Damn near no facts
We're hunted down
Just like rats
June 1969
Stonewall was raided due to suspicion
Everyone just had enough
Rioting soon as continuation
Then came the year 1975
Stating that we may consider
Civil service just could not look away
Any longer
After the year 1995
Clinton passed a policy
Stating not to ask and not to tell
Now written in paper
Queers can now join the army
But that was as far as it had gone
45 years is what it took
To fight the discrimination
Just look at America
The truly hateful nation
And the hate goes on
Ya the hate goes on
No evidence
And damn near no facts
We're hunted down
Just like rats
But the hate still goes on...
