lyrics

I WANT TO BE EQUAL

I’ve been straight
Overweight
Had a fling in Kuwait
I want to be equal
I’ve been a dyke
On a bike
Rode as far as I like
I want to be equal

I’m a mum
Hate my bum
But won't accept the crumbs
I want to be equal
I’ve been a force
For the cause
I don’t need no applause
I want to be equal

So we shout
Use our clout
We refuse to be left out
We want to be equal
Or worse still
Makes me ill
Say you love us but still...
You're not equal

We are Dads
We are Wives
We are trying to live our lives
We want to be equal
And as hard
As they try
They will not demonise
We will be equal

So be strong
Come along
We are going to belong
And we will be equal
And before
I am dead
I am going to be wed
I'm gonna be equal

And one day
We will say
Remember the day
Seems so far away
That great day in May
It was good to be gay
We were equal

And one day
We will say
Remember the day
Seems so far away
That great day in May
It was good to be gay
We were equal
