lyrics

Stand Proud, Stand Tall

OISIN Aaaaaghhhhhhh
No time for haters
Or those life wasters
Who try to deny
Make me cry
Equal rights
Is a fight
We have to believe in
Or we will be grieving
For our gay bros and sistas
All our misses and misters
You should love who you love
No judgement from above
Stand proud and stand tall
Love Equality for all (repeats)

DAMIEN There is something about him
What is happening to me?
I think he’s fucking gorgeous
I must be going crazy
It can’t be in God's plan
For me to love this man

OISIN My dad’s a gay man
Mum is a lesbian
They raised me free
Of inequality
We will win
It’s no sin
To marry who you're lovin’
We don’t care if we’re shovin’
It down your face
The human race
Is still evolving
The world is still revolving
Stand proud, stand tall
Love, Equality, for all (repeats)

DAMIEN I don’t want to be without him
My mother will go nuts?
But I don’t want to live a life
Of ifs, and whys and buts
It must be in God's plan
For me to love this man

OISIN We’re Generation bi
We’re generation Trans
And we really do not give a fuck
If man marries man
We’re generation gay
We’re generation straight
And we really do not care about
The gender of your mate

Stand proud, stand tall
Love Equality for all (repeats)
