lyrics

I was fourteen years old
I was lying in bed
There was nothing I could do
It was true
I kept thinking to myself
What the fuck am I gonna do?
Oh ooh oh oh oh

Couldn’t tell my brother
My mother
My father
My sisters
My aunties
My uncles
My cousins
My friends
No one at school
I didn’t know what to do
I kept thinking to myself
What the fuck am I gonna do?
Oh ooh oh oh oh

Because I came from such a religious family
Was an altar boy
Went to a Christian Brothers’ School
And if I knew that means God knew
And God had some issues
I kept thinking to myself
What the fuck am I gonna do?
Oh ooh oh oh oh

This ain’t a song it’s an excuse for a hate crime
Cos every gay son knows what it means to be a bastard child

Cos I could walk out that door and marry a woman I don’t even like
But try to marry a man I love they fuckin’ lose their minds

Cos they said it
Yes they said it
No they said it
And I believed them
They told me that gays were sick sinners
Nothing more than abominations

Cos they said it
Yes they said it
No they said it
And you know they did
They told us the gays were the ones out touching kids
And it turns out the fuckin’ priest the one who did.

You see I don’t talk about God or religion much
Cos when I was growing up that stuff it really messed me up

I remember thinking

Ooooooooooo This God of love is sending us all straight to Hell x2

Cos if there is no God
Then no harm no foul
But if there is a God
And if he’s an angry God
Then you’re kinda screwed
So why not just get on your knees
And start to pray and beg
For forgiveness

And I thought to myself
Not a chance in Hell x3
Don’t wanna go to Hell

Not a chance in Hell x3
Don’t wanna go to Hell
Don’t wanna go to Hell

Cos I’d rather go to Hell for being an atheist
I’d rather go to Hell for being faithless
Rather go to Hell for being blasphemous
But never for love
But never for love

Cos I’d rather go to Hell for being an atheist
I’d rather go to Hell for being faithless
Rather go to Hell for being blasphemous
But never for love
But never for love

And if he’s an angry God
If he’s an angry God
I want to look into those angry eyes
I want to look into that angry face

And if he’s an angry God
If he’s an angry God
I want to look into those angry eyes
I want to look into that angry face

They told me God
Hates
Fags
But I’m one of them

They told me God
They told me God
Hates
Fags
But I fucking love them

Oooooooooooh This God of love is sending us all straight to Hell x2

You see I don’t talk about God or religion much
Cos when I was growing up that stuff it really messed me up
