homophobia

being the true tale of a young gay man who was kicked to death outside a toilet in bradford ... homophobia ... up behind the bus-stop in the toilets off the street / there are traces of a killing on the floor beneath your feet / mixed in with the piss and beer are bloodstains on the floor / from the boy who got his head kicked in a night or two before // homophobia the worst disease / you can't love who you want to love in times like these / homophobia the worst disease / you can’t love who you want to love in times like these // in the pubs clubs and burgerbars breeding pens for pigs / alcohol testosterone and ignorance and fists / packs of hunting animals roam across the town / they find an easy victim and they punch him to the ground // homophobia the worst disease / you can’t love who you want to love in times like these // the siren of the ambulance the deadpan of the cops / chalk to mark the outline where the boy dropped / beware the holy trinity church and state and law / for every death the virus gets more deadly than before / homophobia the worst disease / you can’t love who you want to love in times like these.
