Romanovsky And Phillips - Queers In The Closet слова песни
(By staying closeted we make ourselves invisible; by coming outwe shatter the popular illusion that the whole world isheterosexual. Gay men and women with high visibility can have atremendous impact by coming out, especially on the nextgeneration. We owe it to those who have brought our movementthis far to finish the job. We cannot assume someone else willdo it for us.)There`s a woman that we all know and loveShe`s made us laugh for yearsWe`ve watched as her talents unfoldedAnd blossomed into a careerBut every time you see herWith her lover on TVThey call themselves "partners"To keep up the mythOf heterosexualityThere`s a former host of a talk showAs gay as the day is longBut he always sang the wrong pronounWhen he opened with a songWell it`s true, he might lose a few fansBut he`d gain one more in meIf he just wouldn`t try to live the mythOf heterosexualityQueers in the closetIn positions of powerDoing a dance on thin iceDeals with the devil to be heroes for an hourHow long must we pay the price?(It`s time to think twice)There`s a famous fashion designerRespected from east to westWe wear his name on our underwearOn our butts and on our chestsBut the ones who buy his clothingWould prefer to never seeThat they`re also buying the mythOf heterosexualityThere`s a singer who`s risen to stardomShe got famous overnightThey say that she signed a contractTo keep her lesbian lips sealed tightWhen she feels that she`s establishedWill she come out for all to seeOr will she perpetuate the mythOf heterosexualityThink twice about taking a free ride to freedomWhile many are making demandsAnd we should think twiceAbout protecting the peopleWho think that there`s safety in silenceAnd won`t take a stand
