This is a song about being gay
No, you ass, not in that way!
Gay as in happy, as in filled with joy
Not gay like boys who like other boys
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes! My gay song!
As I sing my song won't you please sing along?

Oh, I'm happy to live on this wonderful earth
I've been happy since the day of my birth
I know I'll never be filled with sorrow
Because I always know I'll be happy tomorrow
Wait? What? You don't like my song? What's wrong?
Is it because I'm not dwelling on how I don't belong?
Sorry for not feeling misunderstood and rejected
Or no, is it because my rhymes are all expected?

Or do you not like rhymes at all?
Or are my words just too small?
Are my small words and simple messages too demeaning?
Should I use artistic lines with no real meaning?
"Twisted apathy fills the eternal wasteland of emptiness"
What the hell does that mean? Go ahead, take a shot
I believe it says that my words have purpose, yours do not

What is better? Something pretty or something true?
Don't ask me, bud, I'm asking you
Look, I've turned my song into a rant
I wish I could let it go, but I just can't

You all act like you know what you say
Yet, tomorrow is never too far away
When you look back on today, in years to come
Will you laugh happily or wish you weren't so dumb?
I can write poetry that looks real pretty
That's something anybody can do, doesn't take a committee
I could even make a real rhythm if need be
I mean, it's not like the challenge exceeds me

However, what I look for when I read
What any good piece of work really needs
A meaning, a message, some knowledge, a saying
Now go lay down to bed and do some praying
Pray for life and love and happy days
Pray to never hear another song that is gay
But most of all, my dear friends, my loved ones
Pray for something miraculous: some inspiration
