Glad To Be Gay

The British police are the best in the world

I don't believe one of these stories I've heard

'Bout them spending three million to bust up a ring

Of consenting leathermen doing their thing

It might have been private where no one complained

But the judge put an end to their fun and their games

He sentenced the members to four or five years

I can't believe that sort of thing happens here

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way, hey

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

The liars of Wapping are really the pits

Commissioned by bigots and written by shits

They plaster their pages with bingo and tits

Then add all the scandal and slander that fits

They pick out their victims, destroying their lives

They sneer as they smear as they damn and despise

If it's paedophile teachers or lesbian nuns

If it's filth and it's fiction, it's there in The Sun

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way, hey

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

And now there's a nightmare they blame on the gays

It's brutal and lethal and slowly invades

The medical facts are ignored or forgot

By the bigots who think it's the judgement of God

Attacked by the Vatican, bashed by the bill

With cheap politicians all making a kill

The message is simple and obvious, please

Just lay off the patients and let's fight the disease

And sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way, hey

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Just sing if you're happy that way

For twenty-one years now I've fought for the right

For people to love just whoever they liked

But the right on unrighteous are out for my blood

Now I live with my kid and a woman I love

Well, if gay liberation means freedom for all

A label is no liberation at all

I'm here and I'm queer and I do what I do

And I'm not gonna wear a straightjacket for you

No, I say

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way, hey

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Yeah, sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way, hey

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Just sing if you're happy this way
